How did you get the $72,000? Dividing 15/4800 is giving me a different number? Found 2 solutions by greenestamps, MathTherapy:Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Why would you be dividing? Each square meter costs $15 to pave; there are 60*80=4800 of them. Sounds like a clear case for multiplying....

PER signifies each.
If it costs $15, per sq meter ($15 for EACH sq meter), to pave 4,800 (60 * 80) sq meters, should you MULTIPLY or DIVIDE? Think about it!
