GPT 3.5
First, calculate the perimeter of the doorway to find the total length of weatherstripping needed:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Perimeter = 2(84 cm + 273 cm)
Perimeter = 2(357 cm)
Perimeter = 714 cm
Now convert the perimeter to meters:
Perimeter in meters = 714 cm / 100
Perimeter in meters = 7.14 meters
Now calculate the total cost of weatherstripping:
Cost = Length of weatherstripping x Cost per meter
Cost = 7.14 meters x $7.00
Cost = $49.98
Therefore, it cost $49.98 to weatherstrip the doorway.
Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Now calculate the total cost of weatherstripping:
