Question

Art is remodeling his living room. It measures 22 feet by 16 feet, and the contractor is charging $32 per square foot. How much is the cost estimate?
A) 5,662
B) 11,264
C) 384
D) 12,842

Answer 1

First, we determine the area of the floor by multiplying the dimensions given. 
                                  Area = Length x Width
                                  Area = (22 ft)(16 ft)
Area is equal 352 m². Then, multiply the calculated area by the surface amount.
                          Total amount = (352 m²)($32)
                                                  = 11,264
Thus, the answer is letter B.
