Wallpaper was applied to one rectangular wall of a large room. The dimension of the wall are shown below 48 ft by 24.5 feet .If the total cost of the wallpaper was $1764.00, what was the cost of the wallpaper per square foot.
About 10 Dollars.
1764 / (48*24.5)
To find the cost of the wallpaper per square foot, we first need to calculate the total area of the wall.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = Length × Width
In this case, the length of the wall is 48 feet and the width is 24.5 feet. So, the area of the wall is:
Area = 48 ft × 24.5 ft = 1176 square feet
Now, we can calculate the cost of the wallpaper per square foot by dividing the total cost of the wallpaper by the area of the wall:
Cost per square foot = Total cost / Area
Given that the total cost of the wallpaper is $1764.00, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Cost per square foot = $1764.00 / 1176 square feet
Calculating this division will give us the cost of the wallpaper per square foot.
