Question

Shontal's living room is 22 feet wide and 24 feet long. She wants to put a border around the top of the room. The cost of the border is $0.54 per foot. How much will it cost to buy enough of the border to go around the room?

Answer 1

Total feet wide is 22×2=44
total feet long is 24×2=48
$0.54×44=$23.76
$0.54×48=$25.92
$23.76+$25.92=$49.68
it will cost $49.68 to buy enough of the border to go around the room
