$\boxed{ \bf The~answer~is~$2,350.69.}$ The answer is $2,350.69.

First, we must find the area of the rectangular driveway.

A = l × w

A = 15.75 × 3

A = 47.25

So, the area of the driveway is 47.25 yd².

Next, we need to multiply the cost of each square yard by the area.

49.75 × 47.25 = 2350.6875

This can be rounded to 2,350.69.
