Answer:

$579.60

Explanation:

First, we need to find the area of the (floor) of the room.

Area = Length * Width

We can plug in the given values into the equation.

Area = 14 yd * 18 yd

Area = 252 yd²

We can set up a conversion factor to see how much it costs to carpet the room...

$(\$2.30)/(1 \ yard^2)*252 \ yards^2$

Cancel out the yd²...

$2.30*252=$579.60
