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
