Answer 2

$612

Explanation:

Each side of the square garden is 17 meters, and fencing costs $9 per meter. "Around" is the key word, as it indicates perimeter. So, we just need to account for each side of the garden, and not the entirety of the garden. So,

17 · 9 = 153

This means that to cover one side of the garden, it would cost $153. Now, we just need to account for all sides of the garden.

153 x 4 = 612
