Carla's frame shop determines the cost of framing a painting with the formula above. C is the cost (in dollars) for the framing, and x is the largest dimension (in inches) of the painting to be framed. If Simon has a painting that is 20 inches by 30 inches, what is the total amount he would pay Carla's shop to frame it?

I believe he would be $91.50, if by largest dimension, you mean that x is the largest side (in which case you'd plug in 30 for x). It does not say x is the area or the circumference of the painting -- then you would either multiply (for area) or add (for circumference), the numbers 20 and 30.
I hope this helps... :)

Sorry, I really can't figure that one out. Try using this calculator. I know that the 10 on the bottom means to divide, but I can't remember exactly how to work it out.
