Answer:

$490

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Area is length times width. The length is 35 and the width is 2 4/5, as shown in the problem. Multiplying these two, the product is 98. That means that the carpet is 98 total square meters. Each square meter costs $5, so you would multiply the number of square meters by 5. This would be 98 times 5, which is $490.
