f carpet costs $ 22.78
per square yard and is available in whole square yards only, find the cost of carpeting the three bedroom floors in the accompanying floor plan.
We would need the dimensions of the three bedroom floors in order to calculate the total cost of the carpet. Without this information, it is impossible to provide an answer.
To find the cost of carpeting the three bedroom floors, we need to calculate the area of each bedroom floor and then multiply it by the cost per square yard.
Let's start by finding the total area of each bedroom floor:
1. Bedroom 1: The dimensions are given as 10 feet by 12 feet. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can convert the dimensions to yards by dividing each side by 3:
Length: 10 feet / 3 = 3.33 yards
Width: 12 feet / 3 = 4 yards
Area of Bedroom 1 floor = Length * Width = 3.33 yards * 4 yards = 13.32 square yards
2. Bedroom 2: The dimensions are given as 8 feet by 9 feet. Following the same conversion process:
Length: 8 feet / 3 = 2.67 yards
Width: 9 feet / 3 = 3 yards
Area of Bedroom 2 floor = Length * Width = 2.67 yards * 3 yards = 8.01 square yards
3. Bedroom 3: The dimensions are given as 11 feet by 10 feet. Again, converting to yards:
Length: 11 feet / 3 = 3.67 yards
Width: 10 feet / 3 = 3.33 yards
Area of Bedroom 3 floor = Length * Width = 3.67 yards * 3.33 yards = 12.20 square yards
Now, let's calculate the total cost of carpeting the three bedroom floors:
Total cost = (Area of Bedroom 1 floor + Area of Bedroom 2 floor + Area of Bedroom 3 floor) * Cost per square yard
Given the cost per square yard is $22.78:
Total cost = (13.32 square yards + 8.01 square yards + 12.20 square yards) * $22.78
Total cost = 33.53 square yards * $22.78
Total cost = $762.5894
Therefore, the cost of carpeting the three bedroom floors in the floor plan is approximately $762.59.
