Question 1002114: Find the cost required to carpet a hall 8 m by 5.5 m if a rectangular section 2 m by 1 1/2 m is taken out to provide for the fireplace and the carpet costs $52.50 per m^2. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Area = Length x Width
Area = 8m x 5.5m
Area = 44m^2
Piece removed
Area = 2m x 1 1/2 m
Area = 3m^2
44m^2 - 3m^2 = 41m^2
41m^2 x $52.50 per m^2
= $2152.50
Hope this helps :-)
