Answer:
Total cost as per Lowe's is $260 more than that of Home Depot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Alexandro received two quotes for new carpet.
One from Home Depot and other from Lowe's.
Let quote from Home Depot = [tex]\$x[/tex] per sq foot
As per question statement,
The quote from Lowe's = [tex]\$x[/tex]+0.20 per sq foot
Alexandro plans to buy 1,300 square feet of carpet.
Total Cost as per Home Depot's quote = [tex]\$1300x[/tex]
Total Cost as per Lowe's = [tex]\$(x+0.20)\times 1300 = \$1300x + \$260[/tex]
Now taking the difference of the total cost:
Lowe's total cost - Total cost as per Home Depot.
[tex]\$1300x+\$260 - \$1300x \\\Rightarrow \$260[/tex]
So, the answer is:
Total cost as per Lowe's is $260 more than that of Home Depot.
