A lawn care company charges a homeowner $1625 a year to maintain the lawn that is 65' x 50' what is the maintenance fee per square foot
65*50 = 6500/2 = 3250 ft^2
so
1625/3250 $/ft^2
65*50=3250ft^2
so
1625/3250
0.5$/ft^2
To find the maintenance fee per square foot, we need to divide the total cost by the area of the lawn.
Step 1: Calculate the area of the lawn.
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width.
Given:
Length = 65 feet
Width = 50 feet
Area = Length × Width
Area = 65 feet × 50 feet
Area = 3250 square feet
Step 2: Calculate the maintenance fee per square foot.
To find the fee per square foot, we divide the total cost by the area.
Given:
Total Cost = $1625
Area = 3250 square feet
Maintenance fee per square foot = Total Cost / Area
Maintenance fee per square foot = $1625 / 3250 square feet
Now, let's solve this equation to find the maintenance fee per square foot:
Maintenance fee per square foot = $0.50 per square foot
Therefore, the maintenance fee per square foot for this lawn is $0.50.
