Each side of a square classroom is 9 yards long. The school wants to replace the carpet in the classroom with new carpet that costs $88.02 per square yard. How much will the new carpet cost?
Each side of a square classroom is 9 yards long. The school wants to replace the carpet in the classroom with new carpet that costs $67.00 per square yard. How much will the new carpet cost?
To calculate the cost of the new carpet, we need to find the area of the classroom and then multiply it by the cost per square yard.
The area of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, each side of the square classroom is 9 yards long. So,
Area of the classroom = Side length * Side length
= 9 yards * 9 yards
= 81 square yards
Now that we know the area of the classroom is 81 square yards, we can calculate the cost of the new carpet:
Cost of new carpet = Area of the classroom * Cost per square yard
= 81 square yards * $88.02 per square yard
= $7,136.62
Therefore, the cost of the new carpet will be $7,136.62.
cost=price/yard * area=88/yd^2 *88yd^2
7129.62
A = LW
Find the area and multiply it by 88.02.
