Question is incomplete as the cost of the sidewalk is not given :

Assume the sidewalk cost an additional $6 per foot. ​

Answer:

$8366

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Size of porch = 16 by 18 feets

Area of porch = (16 * 18) = 288 ft²

Cost per ft² = $27

Cost of porch = ($27 * 288) = $7,776

Sidewalk = 15feets

Cost per foot = $6

Cost of sidewalk = ($6 * 15) = $90

Cost of gate = $500

Total cost :

(cost of porch area + side walk + gate)

($7776 + $90 + $500) = $8366

Kindly note that the cost pwr foot of sidewalk was erroneously excluded and the value employed for the cost was only assumed.
