Question

What will the total cost be to cover an 18’ by 24’ room with carpet costing $18.50 per square yard?

A. 799.20
B. 888.00
C. 2, 397. 60

Answer 1

Convert the dimensions to yards:

1 yard = 3 feet.

18 ft / 3 = 6 yards.

24 ft / 3 = 8 yards.

Total area = 6 x 8 = 48 square yards.

Total cost = 48 x 18.50 = $888.00

The answer is B.
