Determine her cost to carpet her room
Answer provided by our tutors
1 yd = 3 ft
1 yd^2 = 9 ft^2
1 ft^2 = 1/9 yd^2
The area of Jean's bedroom is:
14*14 = 196 ft^2
We will convert ft^2 to yd^2:
196 ft^2 = 196*(1/9) yd^2
Since the cost is $31.25 per square yard the total for 196*(1/9) yd^2 will be:
196*(1/9)*31.25 = $680.56
The cost to carpet the room is $680.56.
