The material cost is: $875

The cost of building a wooden deck, including the material and labor, is 30% of the material cost.

The expression to calculate the total cost is,


\begin{gathered} \text{Total Cost=875(1+}(30)/(100)\text{)} \\ =875*((13)/(10)) \\ =(2275)/(2) \\ =1137.5 \end{gathered}

Thus, the total cost is $ 1137.5.
