Calculating Garden Costs Based on Area and Planting Price

This guide explains how to calculate the cost of planting daffodil bulbs in a rectangular garden. Using the area formula (A = lw) with given dimensions (length = 12 feet, width = 5 feet), we find the area of the garden. The area calculates to 60 square feet. Given the cost of planting is $2.40 per square foot, the total cost for planting will be $144. The guide also helps in understanding and applying the area formula effectively for practical gardening scenarios.
