Estimate cost of paving and marking = $1,308,900

Explanation:

Each parking space = 8 ft * 13.5 ft

= 108 ft²

total area of the parking = 108 * 500

= 54,000 ft²

space required for aisles = 85% * 54000

= 45900 ft²

Total area = 54000 + 45900 = 99900 ft²

total paving charges = 99,900 * $ 13 = $ 1,298,700

cost of making and painting = $10,200

Estimate cost of paving and marking = $ 1,298,700 + $10,200

Estimate cost of paving and marking = $1,308,900
