(3.75+.5)(2+.5) - (3.75*2) = m^2 for border.
Multiply that answer by $20.

Yes, you are correct! The area of the inner flowerbed is 3.75 meters by 2 meters or 7.5 square meters. The area of the larger flowerbed that includes the border is (3.75+0.5) meters by (2+0.5) meters or 4.25 meters by 2.5 meters, which is 10.62 square meters. So the area of the border is 10.62 square meters minus 7.5 square meters, which is 3.12 square meters. Multiplying 3.12 square meters by $20 per square meter gives Uncle James a cost of $62.40 to have the border built.
