Avg difficulty 2.5

You are looking to purchase a small piece of land in Hong Kong. The price is “only” $60,000 per square meter! The land title says the dimensions are 20 m ×30 m.\text{20} \text{ m } \times \text{30 m} . By how much would the total price change if you measured the parcel with a steel tape measure on a day when the temperature was 20ºC\text{20} º \text{C} above normal?
