Question

The bedroom floor is in the shape of a rectangle. It is 14 feet long and 16 feet wide. Your client has requested that you install either oak flooring or maple flooring. The oak flooring costs $5.25 per square foot for materials. The maple flooring costs $7.00 per square foot for materials. The cost you charge for labor will be the same for either flooring option.
How much money will your client save if you install oak flooring instead of maple flooring?

Answer 1

Answer:

The client will save $392

Answer 2

Answer: The difference Between the total prices of each flooring option would be 392$. meaning the client would save 392$ by using the oak flooring

Step-by-step explanation: We first have how see how big the room is.

16 x 14 = 224

this is our total sqaure footage of the room

next we take the two different flooring options and multiply them by the total sqaure footage.

224 x 5.25$ = 1176$ total coast to put in oak flooring

224 x 7.00$ = 1568$ total coast to put in maple flooring

Then we subtract the two and your left with a difference of 392$ between the different flooring options
