Jonathan is an interior designer. He is working on a project that requires new carpet in an area that is 567.5 square feet. He has picked out carpet that is $7.98 per square foot. His budget for carpet is $4,250. Is he over or under the budgeted amount? By how much?
WRONG
To determine if Jonathan is over or under the budgeted amount, we need to calculate the cost of the carpet for the given area and compare it to his budget.
First, we need to find the cost by multiplying the area (567.5 square feet) by the price per square foot ($7.98):
Cost of carpet = 567.5 square feet * $7.98/square foot
Now, let's calculate the cost:
Cost of carpet = $4532.85
Next, we can compare the cost of the carpet ($4532.85) to the budget of $4250.
If the cost is less than the budgeted amount, then Jonathan is under budget. If the cost is greater, then he is over budget.
In this case, since the cost of the carpet ($4532.85) is greater than the budget ($4250), Jonathan is over budget.
To find out by how much, we subtract the budgeted amount from the actual cost:
Amount over budget = Cost of carpet - Budgeted amount
Amount over budget = $4532.85 - $4250
Amount over budget = $282.85
Therefore, Jonathan is over budget by $282.85.
To find out if Jonathan is over or under the budgeted amount, we need to multiply the area of the carpet by the cost per square foot: 567.5 square feet * $7.98/square foot = $4537.65
Since the cost of the carpet is $4,537.65, Jonathan is over the budgeted amount by $4,537.65 - $4,250 = $287.65. Answer: \boxed{287}.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the cost of the carpet.
The area of the carpet is 567.5 square feet, and the cost per square foot is $7.98.
The total cost of the carpet is: 567.5 square feet * $7.98/square foot = $4537.55
Since the cost of the carpet is $4,537.55, Jonathan is over the budgeted amount by $4,537.55 - $4,250 = $287.55.
Therefore, he is over the budgeted amount by $287.55. Answer: \boxed{287.55}.
Apologies for the mistake again. Let's try one more calculation.
The area of the carpet is 567.5 square feet, and the cost per square foot is $7.98.
The total cost of the carpet is: 567.5 square feet * $7.98/square foot = $4,530.85.
Since the cost of the carpet is $4,530.85, Jonathan is over the budgeted amount by $4,530.85 - $4,250 = $280.85.
Therefore, he is over the budgeted amount by $280.85. Answer: \boxed{280.85}.
To find out if Jonathan is over or under the budgeted amount, we need to multiply the area of the carpet by the cost per square foot.
The total cost of the carpet is: 567.5 square feet * $7.98/square foot = $4,531.65.
Since the cost of the carpet is $4,531.65, which is greater than Jonathan's budget of $4,250, he is over the budgeted amount.
To find out by how much, we subtract the budgeted amount from the actual cost: $4,531.65 - $4,250 = $281.65.
Therefore, Jonathan is over the budgeted amount by $281.65.
Apologies for the repeated errors. Let's calculate it correctly this time.
The area of the carpet is 567.5 square feet, and the cost per square foot is $7.98.
The total cost of the carpet is: 567.5 square feet * $7.98/square foot = $4537.65.
Since the cost of the carpet is $4,537.65, which is greater than Jonathan's budget of $4,250, he is over the budgeted amount.
To find out by how much, we subtract the budgeted amount from the actual cost: $4,537.65 - $4,250 = $287.65.
Therefore, Jonathan is over the budgeted amount by $287.65.
