Question

What is the total area, in square feet, of the room?

Answer 1

Answer:

Part B: $544.5

Step-by-step explanation:

PART B:

The area $A$ of the carpet is the product of its dimensions:

$A =22ft*9ft$

$A =198ft^2$.

The carpet costs $2.00 per $ft^2$; therefore, the total cost $C_b$ of the carpet will be

$C_b = (2.00\ /ft^2)*198ft^2$

$C_b = \ 396$.

Also, the installer charges $0.75 per $ft^2$ to install the carpet; therefore, the total cost $C_i$ of installation will be

$C_i = (\ 0.75/ft^2)*198ft^2$

$C_i = \ 148.5$.

Thus, the total amount $C_{tot}$ it will cost Amy to buy the carpet and have it installed will be

$C_{tot} = C_b+C_i$

$C_{tot} = \ 396+\ 148.5\\\\\boxed{C_{tot} = \ 544.5}$
