Question

Mrs Rivas wants to install carpet in her basement and family room. Her basement is 62/square yards and her family room is 18/square yards if carpet costs $13/per square yard ,how much will it cost to carpe these two rooms?

Answer 1

It will cost $1040 in the two rooms

Answer 2

For this case we have that the total cost will be given by:

`C {t} = C {b} + C_ {f}`

Where:

`C_ {b}:` Cost of installing carpet in the basement

`C_ {f}:` Cost of installing carpet in the family room

So:

`C_ {b} = 62 \ yard ^ 2 * 13 \frac {dollars} {yard ^ 2}\\C_ {b} = 806 \ dollars`

Also:

`C_ {f} = 18 \ yard ^ 2 * 13 \frac {dollars} {yard ^ 2}\\C_ {f} = 234 \ dollars`

Thus, the total cost will be:

`C_ {t} = 806 + 234\\C_ {t} = 1040`

ANswer:

The total cost will be 1040 dollars
