Question

Mrs. Bowman designed the rug shown . If it costs 22$ per square footage to make, how much will Mrs. Bowman pay for the rug?

Answer 1

Just multiply 22 by the number it says.

Answer 2

`\text{Cost of rug}= 22x\$`, where
`x` is the area of rug.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Cost of per square foot of rug = 22$

Let the are of rug be x square foot

`\text{Cost of rug}=\text{Area of rug}*\text{ Per unit area cost of rug} \\\text{Cost of rug}= x*22\\\text{Cost of rug}= 22x`

Thus, Mrs Bowman has to pay
`22x\$` for the rug.

The cost of rug depends on the area of the rug that is
`x` square foot.

Depending on the shape of the rug, the area of rug can be easily calculated and this value can be put in the above equation to calculate the cost of the rug.
