B. $5.25
C. $5.55
D. $6.06

Answer 1

each square foot cost $5.55 so that would be answer C

Answer 2

C. $5.55

Explanation:

Total cost of installing 60 square feet of flooring

= $253.00 + $80

= $333

Total number of square feet for flooring = 60

Now cost per square foot of the flooring

= total cost/total number of square feet

That’s

$333/60 = $5.55

Each square foot cost $5.55
