We have to find the area of the floor in order to know how many square meters of flooring they need.
The area of the floor is:
42 m* (39 m)= 1,638 m^(2)
They need 1,638 m^(2) of flooring.
Hope this helps~
Based on the numbers we have we can assume that she saves 3 times more each week than the last (1*3=3, 3*3=9).
Following this trend we would multiply the amount she saved the third week ($9) by 3 to get $27 for the fourth week.
Then, we would multiply the amount she saved the fourth week ($27) by 3 to get $81 for the fifth week.
Finally, to figure out how much she saved in the 5 weeks, we need to add each value up to get 1+3+9+27+81= $121 saved in 5 weeks
