Answer: $1226.55

Explanation:

Calculate the area of the circle.

$A=\pi r^2$

You do not have the radius, but you do have the diameter. Divide the diameter by 2 in order to find the radius.

(d)/(2) =(25)/(2)=12.5m

Plug into the formula:

$A=(3.14)(12.5m)^2\\A=(3.14)(156.25m^2)\\A=490.62m^2$

Now, each square meter costs $2.50, calculate how much it costs to cover 490.62 square meters.

(2.50)(490.62)=1226.55
