Answer 1

Answer: Hardwood flooring

Explanation:

Given

Rohann renovation of Carpentering cost $875 for
`20\ m^2`

For hardwood flooring
`17\ m^2` cost $750

So, cost per square meter for different floors are

`\Rightarrow \text{Carpentering}=(875)/(20)\\\\\Rightarrow \text{Carpentering}=\$43.75/m^2`

`\Rightarrow \text{Hardwood}=(750)/(17)\\\\\Rightarrow \text{Hardwood}=\$44.11/m^2`

Thus, the cost of the Hardwood flooring is more expensive.
