Answer:
$ 117.36
Explanation:
On the drawing, the rectangular room measures 3 inches by 2 inches, we can convert to feet (using a scale of Inch - 2 feet )
(3 inches ×2) by (2 inches ×2)
= 6 feet by 4 feet
The Area of the room can now be calculated as
Area=( 6 feet × 4 feet)
= 24 ft^2
how much will the new carpet cost?
we know that the carpet costs $4.89 per square foot, then the cost by the area of the room= (Area× $4.89 per square foot)
=24 ft^2 x $4.89
=$ 117.36
Hence, the new carpet cost is $ 117.36
