Answer 2

Answer: 125.62 dollars

===================================================

Work Shown:

350 sq ft = 18.75 dollars

1 sq ft = (18.75/350) dollars .... divide both sides by 350

1 sq ft = 0.053571 dollars approximately

One square foot costs about 0.053571 dollars

Multiply both sides by 2345 to get

1 sq ft = 0.053571 dollars

2345*1 sq ft = 2345*0.053571 dollars

2345 sq ft = 125.623995 dollars

2345 sq ft = 125.62 dollars
