Question

At $15 per square foot, the cost of installing flooring in a room with these dimensions a.$121.50 b.$1215.00 c.$1290.00 d.$81

Answer 1

Answer:

b.  $1215.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the room can be figured any of several ways. One easy way is to figure the area of the enclosing 8 ft by 12 ft rectangle, then subtract area of the 3 ft by 5 ft cutout at upper left.

  A = (8 ft)(12 ft) - (3 ft)(5 ft) = (96 -15) ft^2 = 81 ft^2

At a cost of $15 for each square foot, the installed flooring will cost ...

  ($15 /ft^2)(81 ft^2) = $(15·81) = $1215
