Answer 1

$1,436.70 is the answer

Answer 2

Option c $1436.70

Explanation:

It is given that room is a square, and each sides = 15 ft. 6 inches

Since 15 ft. 6 inches = 186 inches or 15.5 feet

Area of square = Length × width

Area of the room = 15.5 × 15.5 = 240.25 square feet.

Cost to have the floor refinished per square foot = $5.98

Total cost for the room = 240.25 × 5.98 = 1436.695 rounded to $1436.70

Total cost for refinished would be $1436.70
