Cedar decking costs $6.57 per piece and each piece has a an area of 4000 cm^2
Determine the cost of building a desk with an area of 6132m^2
============
4000 cm^2 = 0.4 m^2
6132/0.4 = 15330 pieces.
$6.57*15330 = $100781.10
----
A lot of money, but that's a big deck.
It might take more pieces, depending on the shape of the deck and the pieces.

1 cm2 = +10%5E%28-2%29%2A10%5E%28-2%29+ m2
1 cm2 = +10%5E%28-4%29+ m2
Convert cm2 to m2
+.4%2A10%5E4%2A+10%5E%28-4%29+=+.4+ m2
--------------------------------------
[ area of deck ] / [ area/piece ] = [ number of pieces ]
+6132+%2F+.4+=+15330+ pieces
and
[ cost/piece ] = [ cost of deck ]
+6.57%2A15330+=+100718.1+
$100,718.10 is the cost
