Question 1087294: Assume the wall height in this home is 8ft
If wallpaper costs $170.38 per roll. If one roll covers 20m², how much will it cost to put wallpaper in both Bedrooms 2 and 3? Assume 35% of the walls are covered by windows and doors, and ignore the built-in cupboards (1 meter = 3.28ft)
(Bedrooms 2 is 8'×12'and Bedroom 3 is 8'×12')

So bedroom 2, the perimeter is,

So the surface area is (remember we subtract out 35% so we only need 65%)


Bedroom 3 is the same measurement as bedroom 2 so,

So then the total area is,

We have to convert from ft^2 to m^2.

.


So then 2 rolls will cover that since that would be .
The cost would then be,


If you require the exact cost of the wallpaper (assuming you can use the rest somewhere else),
