Answer: 1700 dollars
=========================================================
Explanation:
We need to find the total area first.
Break the figure into 2 parts. The part on the left is a rectangle, and the portion on the right side is a nonrectangular parallelogram.
The rectangle's area is 25*20 = 500 square meters.
The parallelogram's area is 18*10 = 180 square meters.
The formula to find the area of each is base*height
The total area of the entire figure is 500+180 = 680 square meters.
Since 1 square meter of linoleum costs $2.50, this means 680 square meters cost 680*2.50 = 1700 dollars.
