Question

You want to carpet a 15 foot by 20 foot room. You have two carpet options to choose from. One is $1.50 per square foot and the other is $3.00 per square foot. How much more will your total bill be if you choose the more expensive carpet rather than the cheaper one?
a. $52.50 more.
b. $105 more.
c. $450 more.
d. more than $500 more.

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is A because the cost of the more expensive one is 15+20=35 multiplied by 3 which will give me =$105

And the cheaper one is 15+20=35 multiplied by 1.50 = which is 52.5

so the amount more of the choice for the more expensive one is 105-52.5=52.5.

the answer is 52.50.
