Answer:

Cost = 1440 × 1.86

Cost = $2678.4

Explanation:

The flooring costs $1.86 per square foot, or each foot squared.

First, find the total area covered by the warehouse floor.

Do this by multiplying the width of the floor by the length to find the area.

A = 30 × 48

A = 1440 feet²

Now, one square foot costs $1.86. Therefore, finding how much 1440 square feet costs will look as follows:

Cost = 1440 × 1.86

Cost = $2678.4
