To Find :

Write an equation to represent the cost of one square foot of flooring.

Solution :

Fee of one square feet, p = $287/60 = $4.783 .

So, slope of equation will be 4.783 .

Price of installation is $80 dollar.

Therefore, equation to represent the cost of one square foot of flooring is :

C = 4.783n + 80

Here, C is total cost and n is number of square feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.
