Answer:

$1510.32 (Select option closest to this)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-  Siding material cost = $18.50 per square yard

- installation cost = $12.40 per square yard

- width of one side = 22 ft

- height of one side = 10 ft

Find:

- How much should you charge to put siding on the ends of the house

Solution:

- Assuming the the cost of material is also borne by you. Summing the rate of material and installation for both sides for you per square yard:

Total rate for both side = 2*($18.50 per square yard + $12.40 per square yard

 Total rate for both side = $ 61.8 per square yard

- Area covered by a side is:

  Area covered = 10 * 22 = 220 ft^2 * (yard^2 / 9 ft^2) = 24.44 yard^2

- Total amount you will be charging is:

   Total amount = Total rate for both side * Area covered

   Total amount = $ 61.8 per square yard * 24.44 yard^2 = $1510.32
