Answer:

Luis will have to pay $19.71 to cover the bulletin board with cork.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Dimension of bulletin board:

Length, l = 1.1 m

Width, w = 0.56 m

Area =


A = lw\\A = 1.1* 0.56\\A = 0.616\text{ square meters}

Unit cost = $32 per squared meter

Total cost =


C=\text{Unit cost of cork}* \text{Area of board}\\C = 32* 0.616\\C = 19.71\$

Thus, Luis will have to pay $19.71 to cover the bulletin board with cork.
