Problema Solution
A carpet store is having a blowout sale with carpet for only $15.50 per square yard. How much would it cost to carpet a room that is 140 square feet?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 yd = 3 ft
1 yd^2 = 9 ft^2
1 ft^2 = 1/9 yd^2
the cost per yd^2 is $15.50 follows that the cost for 1/ 9 yd^2 = 1 ft^2 is 15.50/9 dollars
the cost to carpet a 140 ft^2 room is: 140*(15.50/9) = $241.11
