Question

The cost to purchase and install carpet in a 15ft. by 16ft. rectangular room was more than $6000. What was the price per sq. ft. to buy and install the carpet?

Answer 1

You have 15ft. *16ft=240ft^2. If the cost to purchase and install 240ft^2 was more than $6000 and you $/ft^2, so take $6000/240ft^2 and you get $25/ft^2
