Answer:

£20.44

Explanation:

Step 1: find the area of the total area of the garden.

Total area = l*w

Where,

l = 10 m

w = 6 m

Total area of garden = 10*6 = 60m²

Step 2: find the area of the vegetable patch.

Area of vegetable patch = l*w = 2*1.5 = 3m²

Step 3: find the area covered by pond.

Area covered by pond = πr²

Take π as 3.14

r = 2m

Area of pond = 3.14*2² = 12.56 m²

Step 4: find the area of the remainder of the garden to be reseeded.

Area of the remainder of the garden = total area of the garden - (area of the vegetable patch + area of pond)

= 60 - (3 + 12.56)

= 60 - 15.56

Area of the remainder of the garden = 44.44 m²

Step 5: calculate the total cost to reseed the garden.

Given that a bag of seed to cover 10m² is £4.60, total cost to reseed the remainder of the garden measuring 44.44 m² can be calculated bas follows:

10 m² = £4.60

44.44 m² =
(44.44*4.60)/(10) = 20.44

The answer is £20.44
