Answer:
[tex]Total = \$7800[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Cost = \$32.50[/tex] per square yard
[tex]Length = 432.0ft[/tex]
[tex]Width = 5.0ft[/tex]
Required
Determine the cost of carpet and installation
First, calculate the area of the carpet
[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]
[tex]Area = 432.0ft * 5.0ft[/tex]
[tex]Area = 2160ft^2[/tex]
Convert to square yard
[tex]Area = \frac{2160yd^2}{9}[/tex]
[tex]Area = 240yd^2[/tex]
The cost is then calculated as:
[tex]Total= Area * Unit\ Cost[/tex]
[tex]Total = 240 * \$32.50[/tex]
[tex]Total = \$7800[/tex]
