Dillon decided to construct a rectangular deck in his back yard. It is 16 feet long and 13 feet wide. He is trying to determine whether he should construct the deck using cedar or a pressure treated material.
The cedar costs $21.09 per square foot for materials.
The pressure treated material costs $18.90 per square foot for materials.
The cost for labor will be the same for either material.
How much money would Dillon save installing a deck with pressure treated material instead of cedar? Explain or show your reasoning. You may use diagrams, drawings, or equations as well as words.
