Solution
Given, side of one square flower bed = (x + 2) m
∴ Perimeter of one square flower bed = 4(Side) = 4(x + 2) m
Now, total perimeter of 5 such square flower beds = 5 × Perimeter of one square
= 5 × 4(x + 2)
= 20(x + 2) m
∵ Cost of fencing of 100 m = ₹ 50
∴ Cost of 1 m = ₹ `50/100`
∴ Cost of 20(x + 2) m = `50/100 xx 20(x + 2)`
= 10(x + 2)
= ₹ (10x + 20)
