Answer:it will cost $1698

Explanation:

You read online that a 15 ft by 20 ft brick patio would cost about $2,275 to have professionally installed. The area of the patio would be

15 × 20 = 300 square feet

It means that it costs $2275 to install 300 square feet of the patio professionally. Therefore, the cost of installing 1 square feet professionally would be

2275/300 = $7.58 per square feet

To estimate the cost of having a 14 by 16 ft, we would determine the total area.

Area = 16 × 14 = 224 square feet.

Therefore, the cost of installing 224 square feet professionally would be

224 × 7.58 = 1697.92

Approximately $1698
