Christopher is going to install wallpaper on the four walls of his room. Two of the walls are 14 feet long by 9 feet high. The other two walls are 20 feet long by 9 feet high. His options at the wallpaper store are below.

One single roll of wallpaper costs $20 and covers 18 square feet of area.

One double roll of wallpaper costs $40 and covers 54 square feet of area.

What is the minimum cost of installing the wallpaper on the four walls of Christopher's room?

14×9=126×2 =252
9×20=180×2 360
612 square feet
612÷18 = 34 rolls @$20=$680
612÷54 = 11.33 rolls@$40= $453.33
