Answer:

Vinyl

Explanation:

The cost per square foot are is obtained by :

Total cost / total number of square feet

a. carpet: $375 for 100 square feet

Cost per square foot = $375 / 100

= $3.75 per sq ft

b. laminate: $340 for 80 square feet

Cost per sq ft = $340 / 80

= $4.25

c. vinyl: $402 for 120 square feet

Cost per sq ft = $402 / 120

= $3.35

Arranging from least to highest

Vinyl < carpet < laminate
