An embroidered placemat costs 2.95. An embroudered tablecloth is similar to the placemat but four times as long and four times as wide. How much would you expect to pay for the tablecloth

Respuesta :

To determine the price of the tablecloth, you should look at area of the original place mat and consider how much greater the area is of the tablecloth.

We know that each dimension will be 4 times longer which equals an area that is 4 x 4 = 16 times bigger.

Knowing the area is 16 times bigger, you should make the price 16 times higher.

$2.95 x 16 = $47.20

The tablecloth should be $47.20.
