Question 1003520: Bob and Carol want to hire Abel Refinishing to sand and refinish the dining room floor to match the floor in the living room. Abel charges $2.89 per square foot to sand and refinish a hardwood floor. The dining room is rectangular and measures 17 feet 6 inches by 11 feet 6 inches. Find the area of the dining room floor, rounded up to the next square foot, and the cost of the work.

Area is length times width here, so
A = 17 1/2 feet x 11 1/2 feet
A = 35/2 x 23/2
A = 805/4 = 201.25 square feet
rounded up to 202...then multiply this by $2.89 and get the cost...
$583.78
