Years ago, after another wasted day in an office cubicle fighting one more buzzword-filled JavaScript framework, Janice the engineer looked out of the window and decided it was time for a change. She traded her keyboard and mouse for a pitchfork and a spade and started a gardening company.
After years of outdoor work Janice runs the largest landscaping company in the South West, and she has just won a large contract to sow lawns for wealthy landowners. Each contract lists the size of every lawn that needs seeding and the price of the seed for one square metre. Work out how much the seed costs in total.
Every lawn is a rectangle, so its area is its width times its length.
