You just multiply at three numbers
<h3>
Answer: 1728 dollars</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
1 yard = 3 feet
We'll divide by 3 to convert from feet to yards
- 27 feet = 27/3 = 9 yards
- 18 feet = 18/3 = 6 yards
The basement is 9*6 = 54 square yards in floor area.
At $32 per square yard, the total cost to carpet the floor is 32*54 = 1728 dollars.
Y = kx
Plug in what we know:
5 = k(8)
5 = 8k
Divide 8 to both sides:
k = 0.625
Plug this back into the equation along with y = 15:
y = kx
15 = 0.625x
Divide 0.625 to both sides:
x = 24
