Jean's bedroom is 14 feet by 19 feet. She has chosen a carpet that costs $32.05 per square yard. This includes installation. Determine her cost to carpet her room?

Remember that

1 yard=3 foot

step 1

Convert ft to yd

14 ft=14/3 yd

19 ft=19/3 yd

step 2

Find out the area of the bedroom

A=(14/3)*(19/3)

A=266/9 yd2

step 3

Find out the cost

Applying proportion

32.05/1=x/(266/9)

solve for x

x=(266/9)*32.05

x=$947.26
