**MEDAL** I'm making flashcards for the ASVAB. Help me with some formulas? Tiling costs $2.89 per square foot. What is the cost to tile a kitchen whose dimensions are 4 yards by 5 yards? A. $57.80 B. $173.40 C. $289.00 D. $520.20 <-- Formula?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Convert yards to feet to make it easier to solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, but what would be the formula?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

# Yards x 3 = # Feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 9yards x 3 = 27ft What next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uuuh it's not adding up to 520.20. Thanks anyways.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

It becomes 520.20.

@NobodySpecial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @confluxepic but I figured it out. 4(3) = 12 5(3) = 15 12(15) = 180sq ft $2.89(180) = $520.20

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

You're welcome. That is exactly what I did.
