Answer: Company B
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must calculate the area of the carpet. Variable A represents area.


So the area of the carpet is 168 square feet.
To find what company A will charge we will multiply the 168 by 2.75 they charge per square foot.

Company A charges, $462, while Company B will charge $450 for the one room.
This means Company B has the better price.
Its asking how much did they both spent, in total, in order to reach the same amount spent in part A
Answer:
- 15
Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 88 <span>
<span>
</span><span>ab = y
</span><span>
</span><span>a = 88 - b
</span><span>
</span><span>y = (88 - b)*b
</span>
<span>y = -b^2 + 88b
</span><span>
</span><span>Take the derivative and set equal to 0
</span><span>
</span><span>y' = -2b + 88 = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>2b = 88
</span>
<span>b = 44 </span></span>
<span><span>a=44</span></span>
<span><span> both numbers are 44</span></span>
