Kristina is a contractor who builds houses for her clients. She buys her flooring from a supplier who has the best prices in town. Recently, she ordered 625 square feet of red oak wood and it cost $2,468.75.
What was the cost of each square foot, in dollars?
To find the cost per square foot, divide the total cost by the number of square feet:
$2,468.75 / 625 sq ft = $3.95/sq ft
So the cost of each square foot is $3.95.
