Question

New carpeting can be purchased and installed for $22.00 per square yard, plus a $50 delivery fee. (a) Write an equation that gives the cost, c, to carpet "s" square yards. (b) Solve the equation for s. c) Use the equation from Part B to determine how many square yards can be carpeted for $1810.

Answer 1

a) total cost (C) = 22 s + 50 (b) s = (C - 50) / 22 (c) 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the cost is:

cost (C) = 22 s + 50 where s is the quantity of square yards purchased.

b) solve for s

C = 22 s + 50

C - 50 = 22 s

s = (C - 50) / 22

c) the amount of square yard that can be purchased by $ 1810

s = (1810 - 50) / 22 = 1760 / 22 = 80
