Question

32) Find the cost of linoleum flooring for a floor that is 15 feet by 10 feet if it costs $9.00 to cover 12 square feet.

O a.) $110.50
Ob.) $132.50
Oc.) $122.50
Od.) $112.50

Answer 1

D.) 112.50

The Square foot flooring is calculated by doing 15ft x 10ft = 150ft^2. Since it cost $9.00 to cover 12ft^2, you would do 150ft^2/12ft^2 to find out how many times you have to pay 9 dollars. This gives you 12.5 times you have to pay 9 dollars. Therefore, you do $9.00x12.5 which gives you $112.50

Answer 2

d.) $112.50

Explanation:

Area of floor:

15 ft × 10 ft = 150 ft²

150 ft² is how many times 12 ft²?

It is 150 ft² / 12 ft² = 12.5.

150 ft² is 12.5 times 12 ft².

12 ft² cost $9.00, so 12.5 times 12 ft² costs 12.5 times $9.00.

12.5 × $9.00 = $112.5

Answer: d.) $112.50
