Problema Solution
A carpet store is having a closing sale with carpet at $11.50 per a square yard. If your living room is 180 square feet, how much would it cost to carpet?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 yd = 3 ft
1 yd^2 = 9 ft^2
1 ft^2 = 1/9 yd^2
180 ft^2 = 180*(1/9) yd^2 = 20 yd^2
A carpet store is having a closing sale with carpet at $11.50 per a square yard thus 20 square yards will cost 20 times the amount of $11.50:
20*11.50 = $230
180 square feet carpet would cost $230.
