Answer:

$6,797.09

Explanation:

The area of the floor is ...

(21 ft)(28 ft) = 588 ft²

Then the cost of the carpet material is ...

(588 ft²)($10.45/ft²) = $6,144.60

The subtotal with installation fee is ...

$6,144.60 +149.00 = $6,293.60

Adding the sales tax multiplies this amount by 1 +8% = 1.08, so the final price is ...

1.08 × $6,293.60 = $6,797.09 . . . total price
