Question

A large rectangular room needs to be carpeted and has dimensions 18.75 ft by 28 ft.

The carpet is sold by the square yard and has a cost of $26.50 per sq yd. Find the
cost to carpet the room (assume no extra needs to be purchased). Round answer to
two decimal places.

Answer 1

$13912.50

Explanation:

First you find how much carpet you need by finding the area of the room.

18.75*28= 525ft^2

Then multiply the amount of carpet needed by 26.50 to find the total cost.

525*26.50= 13912.50

Hope this helps!
