Question

Here's another word problem that I need assisting.Thanks for anyone who can help!

Ques:
Joanne recently bought some carpet costing $24.35 per square meter for her room at home.What was the cost of carpeting if her room was 5.2 m by 500cm?

Answer 1

First convert 500 cm to meters. Then find the area, in square meters, of her room by multiplying your two dimensions. Take this area and multiply it by the cost per square meter to find the cost of carpeting the room.
