Answer 1

It costs $ 30240 to stain floor of the entire room

Solution:

Given that,

Sgt. Merritt has bought a house now that his tour of duty is up

He wants to stain the wood floors of the living room, which measure 18 x 14

Therefore,

length = 18 yards

Width = 14 yards

Find the area:

$Area = length \times width\\\\Area = 18 \times 14\\\\Area = 252$

Thus area of wood floors is 252 square yards

How much will it cost to stain floor of the entire room?

The stain costs $120 per square yard

$Cost = 252 \times 120\\\\Cost = 30240$

Thus it costs $ 30240 to stain floor of the entire room
