Question

A home improvement store advertises 60 square feet of flooring for $287.00 including an $80.00 installation fee. Write in equation to represent the cost of one square foot of flooring.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3.75x + 80

If we want to find the cost of one square foot of flooring, we need to plug in x = 1 and find the cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A home improvement store advertises 60 square feet of flooring for $287.00 including an $80.00 installation fee.

Flooring without installation fee = $287 - $80 = $207

Cost of flooring per square foot = 207 divided by 60

= $3.75

Let's take x be the number of square feet of flooring and y be the total cost.

y = 3.75x + installation fee

y = 3.75x + 80

If we want to find the cost of one square foot of flooring, we need to plug in x = 1 and find the cost.

Similarly we can find for anything of square feet.

Answer 2

Hello there,
60 square feet= $287.00 + $80.00
                       = $367
1 square feet= $367 / 60
                     = $6.116666667
                     = $6.12 (to 2dp)

Hope this helps :))
