Answer 1

d. $681.15

Explanation:

Bedroom 1:

Width = 10 ft

Length = 8.5 ft

Area of bedroom 1 = length × width

= 10 ft × 8.5 ft

= 85 ft²

Bedroom 2:

Width = 11.75 ft

Length = 13.25 ft

Area of bedroom 2 = length × width

= 11.75 ft × 13.25 ft

= 155.6875 ft²

Total carpet in the two bedrooms = 85 ft² + 155.6875 ft²

= 240.6875 ft²

If the

carpet he wants to buy is $2.83 per square foot, then how much will it cost for both rooms?

Total cost for both rooms = Total carpet in the two bedrooms × cost per square foot

= 240.6875 ft² × $2.83

= $681.145625

Approximately $681.15
