A parking lot is 60 meters wide and 80 meters long. At $ 15 per square meter, how much will it cost to pave the parking lot?
A = LW
A = 60 * 80
A = 4,800 square meters
4,800 / 15 = $__________
To calculate the cost of paving the parking lot, we need to find the area of the parking lot and then multiply it by the cost per square meter.
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the parking lot is 80 meters and the width is 60 meters.
Area = Length * Width
Area = 80 meters * 60 meters
Area = 4800 square meters
Now that we know the area of the parking lot is 4800 square meters, we can multiply it by the cost per square meter, which is $15.
Cost = Area * Cost per square meter
Cost = 4800 square meters * $15
Cost = $72,000
Therefore, it will cost $72,000 to pave the parking lot.
