Answer:
total cost of putting carpet in both rooms is $3692.42
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
living room length = 24 feet
living room width = 15 feet
dining room is square so length and width will be same
dining room length = 13 feet
dining room width = 13 feet
carpet costs = $6.98 per square foot
to find out
what is the total cost of putting carpet in both rooms
solution
first we find the total area of both room that is
area of living room = length × width .................1
area of living room = 24 × 15
area of living room = 360 feet² ...........................2
and
areas of dining room = length × width
area of dining room = 13 × 13
area of dining room = 169 feet² ...............................3
so total area = add equation 1 and 2
total area = 360 feet² + 169 feet²
total area = 529 feet²
and
total cost of putting carpet in both rooms are = total area × carpet costs .................4
put here value
total cost of putting carpet in both rooms = 529 × $6.98
total cost of putting carpet in both rooms =$3692.42
