Question

You want to replace the countertops in a kitchen. One counter measures 24 inches by 6 feet. The other is 30 inches by 4 feet. If the new countertop costs $42.00 per square foot, what will be the cost of the new top?

Answer 1

$11,088 I belive! All you have to do is multiply the length and width to get the surface areas! after that, multiply the number by 42! and there ya go!!

Answer 2

we know that

$1\ foot=12\ inches$

Step $1$

Find the area in square feet of the countertop N $1$

convert inches to feet

$24\ inches=\frac{24}{12} =2\ ft$

$Area\ 1=2*6=12\ ft^{2}$

Step $2$

Find the area in square feet of the countertop N $2$

convert inches to feet

$30\ inches=\frac{30}{12} =2.5\ ft$

$Area\ 2=2.5*4=10\ ft^{2}$

Step $3$

Find the cost of the new top

we know that

the new countertop costs $\ 42.00$ per square foot

to find the total area sum area 1 and area 2

$total\ area=12\ ft^{2}+10\ ft^{2}=22\ ft^{2}$

$Cost=22\ ft^{2}*42.00\frac{\ }{ft^{2}} =\ 924$

therefore

the answer is

$\ 924$
