Given :
Rosa is putting carpet in her room. She’s using the scale 1 inch = 3 ft .
In the drawing, the length is 5.5 inches and the width is 3.25 inches. If carpet costs 2.58 per square foot.
To Find :
How much will it cost to carpet the bedroom.
Solution :
Length of bedroom , l = 5.5 × 3 = 16.5 ft.
Width of bedroom , w = 3.25 × 3 = 9.75 ft.
SO, area of bed room is :
[tex]A=l\times w\\\\A=16.5\times 9.75\ ft^2\\\\A=160.875\ ft^2[/tex]
Now, cost to carpet the bedroom is :
[tex]C=2.58\times A\\\\C=2.58\times 160.875\\\\C=415.0575[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
