<h3>Further explanation</h3>
While the calculations for solving this problem are simple multiplication and addition, the path to finding the appropriate numbers on which to operate requires a high degree of organization. Students must attend not only to finding the various combinations that are possible, but they must also attend to the units in which the areas and prices are given. Students may choose to use only one unit of measure for the areas and prices, or they may use a combination.
By converts the carpet prices to match the area units of the rooms, we can know the costs.
Green: $42.75/yard^2 and $4.75 /ft^2
Brown: $44.55/yard^2 and $4.95/ft^2
Dining
Green: 114 ft^2 * $7.45/ft^2 = $684
Green: $684
Brown: 144ft^2*$4.95/ft^2 = $712.80
Brown: $712.80
Den
Green: 45yd^2 * $42.75/yd^2 = $ 1,923.75
Brown: 45 yd^2*$44.55/yd^2 = $2,004.75
Green: $1,923.75
Brown: $2,004.75
Total
Dining+Den
$684+$ 1,923.75 =$ 2,607.75
$684+$2,004.75= $2,688.75
$712.80+ $1,923.75= $2,636.55
$712.80+$2,004.75= $2,717.55
How much does it cost to do both rooms in green? $2,607.75
How much does it cost to do both rooms in brown? $2,717.55
How much does it cost to do the den in green and the dining room in brown? $2,636.55
