Ice cream company

An ice cream company is going to open new stores in Los Angeles, New York, and Orlando. The monthly cost for a square foot of rental space in each city is as follows.

town	cost/ft2
Los Angeles	$5.25
New York	$7.25
Orlando	$4.25

The store in Los Angeles will be 500 square feet, the store in New York will be 390 square feet, and the store in Orlando will be 405 square feet. Find the total monthly rent for these three stores.

Correct answer:

x =  7173.75 USD

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} S_1=500{\text{ft}}^2 \\ {S}_2=390{\text{ft}}^2 \\ {S}_3=405{\text{ft}}^2 \\ x=5.25\cdot S_1+7.25\cdot S_2+4.25\cdot S_3=5.25\cdot 500+7.25\cdot 390+4.25\cdot 405=7173.75\text{USD} \end{gathered}$$
