The cost would be at least $755.1302 to build the deck.

The deck is in the shape of a rectangle. Therefore,

<h3>Area of rectangle</h3>

area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

length = 9.4 ft

width = 6.7 ft

area = 9.4 × 6.7 = 62.98 ft²

Therefore,

1 ft² of lumber = $11.99

62.98 ft² of lumber = ?

cross multiply

cost = 62.98 × 11.99 = $755.1302
