A floor 4m long and 305m wide is to be carpeted.find the area of the floor and find the cost if the carpet costs P42 per square metre
area = 4 * 305
Which I suspect is a typo unless it is a carpet for a wedding at Taj Mahal
perhaps 4 * 3.05 ???
cost = area * 42
To find the area of the floor, you need to multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length is 4m and the width is 305m.
Area = Length × Width
Area = 4m × 305m
Area = 1220 square meters
Therefore, the area of the floor is 1220 square meters.
To find the cost of the carpet, you need to multiply the area of the floor by the cost per square meter. In this case, the cost per square meter is P42.
Cost = Area × Cost per square meter
Cost = 1220 square meters × P42
Cost = P51,240
Therefore, the cost of carpeting the floor would be P51,240.
