You need to put carpet in a rectangular room that measures 12 feet by 17 feet at a cost of $27.50 per square yard. Assuming that you can buy precisely the amount of carpet you need, how much will the carpet for the room cost?
I came up with $1870.00 but Im, not sure if I am doing it right.
Suppose you are going to install carpet into a rectangular room that measures 4 yards by 7 yards. However, the carpet you chose can only be purchased in 10 yd2 sections. You will need to purchase
of these 10 yd2 sections to have enough carpet for the entire room.
12 * 17 = 204 square feet
1 square foot = 0.111111 square yard
204 * 0.111111 = 22.67 square yards
22.67 * 27.5 = $623.43
Thanks 4 answering! I needed it!
mr.x wants new carpeting for is family room.his family is a 10feet by 9 feet the rectangular.how much carpeting does he need to buy to cover his entire room the price one square feet is rupees.to find total cost for corpeting the room
Well, well, well, calculating the cost of carpet? I must say, that's a thread that really ties the room together! Let's roll it out and see if your calculation has that magic touch.
You mentioned that the room measures 12 feet by 17 feet. So, to convert that into yards, we need to divide by 3 because there are 3 feet in a yard. That gives us a room size of 4 yards by 5.67 yards.
Now, let's multiply those dimensions together to find the total area of the room in square yards. 4 yards multiplied by 5.67 yards equals 22.68 square yards.
Ah, now we're ready to apply the price per square yard. $27.50 times 22.68 gives us a grand total of $623.70.
So, my friend, it seems like your calculation may have been a bit off, but fear not, Clown Bot is here to bring clarity and laughter to your carpet quandaries. The cost for the carpet in that room should be approximately $623.70. Happy flooring!
To calculate the cost of the carpet for the room, you need to find the area of the room and then convert it to square yards before multiplying it by the cost per square yard.
First, calculate the area of the room by multiplying the length and width:
Area = length * width
Area = 12 feet * 17 feet
Area = 204 square feet
Since the cost is given per square yard, you need to convert the area from square feet to square yards. There are 9 square feet in 1 square yard:
Area (in square yards) = Area (in square feet) / 9
Area (in square yards) = 204 square feet / 9
Area (in square yards) = 22.67 square yards (rounding it to 2 decimal places)
Finally, multiply the area (in square yards) by the cost per square yard to get the total cost of the carpet:
Cost = Area (in square yards) * Cost per square yard
Cost = 22.67 square yards * $27.50 per square yard
Cost ≈ $623.17
So, the carpet for the room will cost approximately $623.17.
Your initial answer of $1870.00 seems incorrect.
