Question

bill and sonia's living room is 14 feet long and 10 feet wide. they want to buy wall to wall carpet that costs $25.90 a square yard. find the cost of the carpet requires to cover both the living room floor and the dining room floor.

Answer 1

Do you have a set of dimensions for the dining room? All you have listed there are the dimensions to the living room.

An easy way to approach this problem is as follows:
1. Convert all measurements into yards. (1 yard = 3 feet)
2. Calculate Area in square yards. (Length x Width)
Do this separately for each room and add the totals together.
3. Divide the Total Area by the cost per Area.
