The number is 17 61/100. 61/100 can't be reduced, because 61 is a prime number.
Let the width of the frame = x
Let the cost of a linear foot of the frame = y
Let the inside dimension of the length of the frame = a
Let the inside dimension of the width of the frame = b.
The total length of the frame = 2*a + 4x
The total width of the frame = 2b
The total amount of the frame in feet is (2a + 4x + 2b)*y = Cost

I got 29.2 (I also rounded it to the nearest tenth for u)
To the nearest square foot is the same as to the nearest whole number. That would be 63.
