d. $285.45

Answer 1

c. $174.34

Explanation:

Given that

The length is 10ft 3 inches = 123 inches and 3.14 yards

And, the breadth be 5ft 6 inches = 66 inches = 1.83 yards

ANd, the carpet cost per square is $27.85

We need to find out the amount of the carpet

Now the area is

= Length × breadth

= 3.416 × 1.83

= 6.25128 yards 2

Now the cost of the carpet is

= 6.25128 × $27.85

= $174.34
