Question

Austen needs to buy a bathroom mirror that is 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. If the mirror

sells for $5.00 per square foot, what will the total cost of the mirror be?

Answer 1

The total cost of the mirror will be $30.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost of the mirror, we need to calculate the area of the mirror first.

Given that the mirror is 2 feet wide and 3 feet long, we can calculate the area by multiplying the width and length:

Area = Width x Length = 2 ft x 3 ft = 6 square feet.

Now, we can find the total cost by multiplying the area of the mirror by the price per square foot:

Total Cost = Area x Price per square foot = 6 square feet x $5.00/square foot = $30.00.

Therefore, the total cost of the mirror will be $30.00.

Answer 2

Question :-

Solution :-

Given Information :-

• Length of the mirror Austen needs to buy ➢ 3 ft
• Width of the mirror Austen needs to buy ➢ 2 ft
• Cost of mirror per square foot ➢ $5.00

To Find :-

• Total cost of the mirror Austen needs to buy.

Formula Used :-

1. Area of Mirror = Length × Width
2. Total cost of mirror = Area of mirror × Cost of mirror per square foot

Calculation :-

• Area of mirror :-

Substituting the values given in the 1st formula, We get,

⇒ Area of mirror = ( 3 × 2 ) ft²

⇒ Area of mirror = 6 ft²

• Now finding the total cost of mirror,

Substituting the values calculated above in the 2nd formula, We get

⇒ Total Cost of mirror = $ ( 6 × 5.00 )

⇒ Total Cost of mirror = $30
