You are purchasing carpeting for an office building. The space to be carpeted is 30 feet by 50 feet. Company A charges $2.99 per square foot plus a $200 installation charge. Company B charges $19.99 per square yard plus a $500 installation charge. What is the best deal?

Answer 1

Company A:
$200 + $2.99(30ft * 50ft) = $4,685

Company B:
30ft x 50 ft = 166.6667 sq yd.
$500 + $19.99(166.6667sq yd) = $3831.667

Company B is the better deal
