Answer:

first lets find the area of the floor.

A=l*w where l=length and w=width

Plug in the data

A=14*12

A=168ft²

If 1 square foot of carpet is 2.90$, then 168 square feet are...

1 sqft 168sqft

_______ = ________

2.90$ x$

Cross multiply

1x=487.20

divide both sides by 1

x=487.20 dollars

Answer= $487.20
