To determine the approximate cost of Jace's banner before tax, we will follow the given information and perform a calculation based on the area and the cost per square foot.
Let's break down the steps:
1. Identify the Cost Per Square Foot:
- The print shop charges \[tex]$1.10 per square foot for the banner.
2. Determine the Approximate Cost:
- To find the approximate cost of the banner, we need to use the given data.
3. Calculate the Area:
- Given that the approximate cost of the banner is \$[/tex]83.90.
4. Match the correct cost to the banner:
- To match the approximate area calculated, we can use the approximate cost which is closest.
In this problem, it is given that the approximate area cost is \[tex]$83.90, and given the cost per square foot is \$[/tex]1.10.
Thus, the approximate cost of the banner before tax is [tex]\(\boxed{83.90}\)[/tex].
