Answer:

$3692.42

Explanation:

Given data

A living room measures 24ft by 15ft

Area = 24*15

Area=360 ft^2

An adjacent square dining room measures 13ft on each side

Area= 13*13

Area= 169 ft^2

Total area= 360+169

Total area= 529 ft^2

If 1 ft^2 cost $6.98

529 ft^2 will cost x

cross multiply

x= 529*6.98

x= $3692.42

The total cost of putting carpet in both rooms is $3692.42
