Answer:

$1679.175 or $1679.18

Explanation:

split the carpet into rectangles to make it easier to look at

one rectangle is 2 yards in height and 9 yards in width (5 yards plus 4 yards)

area of a rectangle = (w)(h), so 9 x 2 = 18 yards in area.

second triangle is 4 yards in width, and 3 yards in height.

area of a rectangle = (w)(h), so 4 x 3 = 12 yards in area.

Total area = 30 yards

30(21.95)(2.55) = $1679.175 or $1679.18
