<PRE><B>Question 637992</B>

A certain type of linoleum cost $1.50 per square yard. If a room measures 27 feet by 14 feet, what will be the cost of covering it with lithoneum?


27 * 14 = 378 sq feet


Since 9 sq feet = 1 sq yard. then 378 sq feet = 378/9, or 42 sq yards


At $1.50 per sq yard, the total cost of linoleum = 42(1.5) = ${{{highlight_green(63)}}}
