Question

Jean's bedroom is 11 feet by 14 feet. She has chosen a carpet which costs $33.30 per square yard. This includes installation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The room will cost $569.80 to carpet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 1 square yard = 9 square feet.

The area of the bedroom, in square feet, is (11 ft)(14 ft) = 154 ft^2.

Converting this to square yards:

154 ft^2      1 yd^2

------------ * ------------ = 17.1 yd^2

       1          9 ft^2

17.1 yd^2     $33.30

------------- * ------------- = $569.80

       1            1 yd^2

The room will cost $569.80 to carpet.
