Mr. and Mrs. Gomez are buying carpet for their​ square-shaped bedroom, which measures 8 yd along each wall. The carpet is ​$23 per square yard and padding and installation is another ​$4 per square yard. How much will they spend in​ all?

Answer 1

8 * 8 = 64
64 * 23 = 1472
64 * 4 = 256
1472 + 256 = $1728
Total: $1728

Answer 2

Mr. and Mrs. Gomez will pay $1728 in total.

Explanation:

The dimensions of the bedroom = 8 yard by 8 yard

Area of the room =
`8*8=64` square yards

The carpet is ​$23 per square yard and padding and installation is another ​$4 per square yard.

This makes a total charge of $27 per square yard.

Hence, total money needed will be =
`64*27=1728` dollars

Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Gomez will pay $1728 in total.
