Solution:

Gien:


\begin{gathered} Floor\text{ of dimension }25ft\text{ by }35ft \\ 15ft^2\text{ }Carpet\text{ that costs \$10.95} \end{gathered}

The area of the classroom floor is;


\begin{gathered} A=25*35 \\ A=875ft^2 \end{gathered}

To get te cost that will cover the floor,


\begin{gathered} 15ft^2=\text{ \$10.95} \\ 875ft^2=x \\ Cross\text{ multiplying,} \\ 15x=875*10.95 \\ x=(875*10.95)/(15) \\ x=\text{ \$}638.75 \end{gathered}

Therefore, it will cost $638.75 to cover a classroom floor of 25ft by 35ft.
