Answer 1

Answer:

$225.50 (nearest cent)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 foot ≈ 0.3048 m

Width of room = 15 ft ≈ 15 x 0.3048 = 4.572 m

Length of room = 18 ft ≈ 18 x 0.3048 = 5.4864 m

Area of room = width x length = 4.572 x 5.4864 = 25.0938208... m²

Cost of carpet = $8.99 per m²

Total cost of carpet = 25.0938208 x 8.99 = $225.50 (nearest cent)
