Answer:

The total cost of the framing for the painting is $0.40·P

Explanation:

The first step to be done is to measure the length of the perimeter of the painting

Whereby the perimeter of the painting is p inches long, then the total cost of the framing will be found to be as follows

Total cost of framing = Cost per inch of framing × Perimeter of painting

∴ Total cost of framing = $0.40 × p

The total cost of the framing for the painting = $0.40·P.
