Answer:

His costs are $ 596

Explanation:

Given,

The measurements of the lot = 80 ft. x 120 ft,

So, the area of the lot = 80 x 120

= 9600 ft².

Since, the charges per square feet = 6 cents

Thus,

The total charges for the lot

= area in square ft × cost per square ft

= 9600 × 6

= 59600 cents

= 596 dollars ( ∵ 100 cents = 1 dollar )

Hence, his costs are $ 596
