Question

You just carpeted a 9 x 12 foot room for $480. The carpet is priced by square foot. About how much would you expect to pay for the same carpet in another room that is 21 x 28 feet?

(With explanation)

Answer 1

ok so..to find out the amount it cost per square foot you have to multiply 9*12=108 ft

108ft=$480

$480/108=4.44~~~~~it's continuous

so then multiply 21*28=588

588*4.44~~~~=2613.33~~~~its continuous too.

Step-by-step explanation: answer is

=$2613.33 ~~~~its continuous too.

Answer 2

First you would find the amount of money you’d need by square foot which you can find by multiplying 9 by 12 then dividing 480 by that number (which is 108) that will give you approximately $4.44 per square foot.

Next you would multiple 21 by 28 to find out the amount of square feet in that room (which is 588) then you can multiply that by $4.44 to get $2,610.72.

So you will expect to pay $2,610.72 for a 21 x 28 room
