Answer: $70
Step-by-step explanation
Given, for a 4 inch wide crown molding:
8 ft length costs $14
Cost of 40 ft length = ?
8 ft length costs $14
To find the cost of 1 ft length,
Divide through by 8
8ft/8 length costs $14/8
1ft costs $1.75
Now, to find the cost of 40 ft length
1ft costs $1.75
1 ft x 40 would cost $1.75
40 ft would cost $70
Therefore, it would cost $70 to buy 40 ft of crown molding
