Question

A home Improvement store advertises 60 ft.² of flooring for 287.00 including an 80.00 installation fee write an equation to represent the cost of one square foot of flooring

Answer 1

`cost = (287)/(60) +80`

Explanation:

So, for 60 square feet they charge = 287

So, for 1 square foot they charge =
`(287)/(60)`

If they charge the installation fee this becomes =
`(287)/(60) +80`

We can write an equation to calculate cost by using this
`=(287)/(60) x +80`

Where x is the amount of square foot
