Question

What will it cost to carpet a rectangular floor measuring 27 feet by 12 feet if the carpet costs $22.03 per square yard?It will cost?

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangular floor measuring 27 feet by 12 feet.

The area of the rectangular floor = length x width

So, the area of the rectangular floor = 27 * 12 = 324 square feet

We will find the cost of a carpet for the rectangular floor

the carpet costs $22.03 per square yard

First, we will convert the square feet to the square yard

1 yard = 3 feet

1 square yard = 9 square feet

So, 324 square feet = 324/9 square yard = 36 square yard

So, the cost of the carpet = 36 * $22.03 = $793.08

So, the answer will be:

The cost of the carpet = $793.08
