Answer:

£920

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of floor to find the cost of the flooring, and then we need to find the perimeter of the floor to find the cost of the edging.

A = LW = 6 m × 4 m = 24 m²

Cost of flooring: 24 m² × £35/m² = £840

P = 2(L + W) = 2(6 m + 4m) = 2(10m) = 20 m

Cost of edging: 20 m × £4/m = £80

Total cost:

£840 + £80 = £920
