You are buying carpet to cover a room that measures 42 ft by 42 ft. The carpet cost $ 25 per square yard. How much will the carpet cost?

Sagot :

Answer:  4900 dollars

Explanation:

3 feet = 1 yard

14*(3 feet) = 14*(1 yard) .... multiply both sides by 14

42 feet = 14 yards

The carpet is 14 yards by 14 yards.

Its area is 14*14 = 196 square yards.

Since it costs $25 per square yard, this means the total cost is 25*196 = 4900 dollars
