Answer 1

Answer:

416.67$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the units of the price are using square yards. To simplify early, we can convert the sides to yards.

Bedroom dimensions: 10/3 yards by 4 yards.

Since the cost is by area unit, we can find the area by multiplying the dimensions(assuming the bedroom is a square), yielding us 40/3 square yards.

Now multiplying the square yards by the price gets us:

$\frac{40}{3}yards^{2} * 31.35 * 1/yards^2 =$416.67$
