Ms. Finch is getting new carpet installed in her living room and hallway. The carpet will not be on the stairs. The cost of installation is $12 per square yard. What is the total area and cost of where the carpet is being installed

Answer 1

Surface area of a rectangular carpet is Length×width

now [5×2.2] yard =11 yard now it's cost will be 11×12$=132$

Now total surface area of the room excluding the carpet 7 (4.5+1.5) yard= 52 yard Now the total cost will be 52×12$=624$

Now total surface area of the room including the carpet is

(624+132)$=756$.
