a store advertises carpet that costs $ 18.95 per square yard. how much does that carpet cost per square meter?
one inch equals 2.54 cm
a square yard is 36^2 square inches
a square meter is 100^2 square cm
$18.95 * 100^2 / (36 * 2.54)^2
1m = 1.0936 yd
1m^2 = 1.196 yd^2
so, the cost is
$18.95/yd^2 * 1.196yd^2/m^2 = $22.66/m^2
To find the cost per square meter (m²), we need to convert the price from square yards to square meters.
1 square yard is equal to 0.83612736 square meters. Therefore, we can calculate the cost per square meter using the following steps:
Step 1: Convert the price per square yard to the price per square meter.
Cost per square meter = (Cost per square yard) / (Conversion factor)
Step 2: Calculate the cost per square meter.
Cost per square meter = $18.95 / 0.83612736
Let's solve these steps together:
Step 1: Convert the price per square yard to the price per square meter.
Conversion factor = 0.83612736
Step 2: Calculate the cost per square meter.
Cost per square meter = $18.95 / 0.83612736
Cost per square meter ≈ $22.66
Therefore, the cost of the carpet per square meter is approximately $22.66.
