Carpet Masters charges $9.50 per square yard to clean a carpet. If you have two rooms with an area of six square yards each, how much will it cost to have the carpets cleaned?

12 * 9.50 = ?

12 * 9.50 = $114

Right.

To find out how much it will cost to have the carpets cleaned, you need to calculate the total area of the two rooms and then multiply it by the cleaning cost per square yard.

Step 1: Calculate the total area of the two rooms.
Since each room has an area of 6 square yards, the total area of the two rooms is 6 + 6 = 12 square yards.

Step 2: Multiply the total area by the cleaning cost per square yard.
The cleaning cost per square yard is $9.50.
So, the total cost to clean the carpets is 12 (square yards) x $9.50 (cost per square yard) = $114.

Therefore, it will cost $114 to have the carpets cleaned.
