Question

Laura wants to cover the floor of her rectangular bedroom with carpet. Laura's bedroom is 15 feet in
width and 24 feet in length. If the cost of carpet is $5 per square foot, how much will it cost Laura to
carpet the bedroom?

Answer 1

Area = Length x width.

Area of room = 15 x 24 = 360 square feet.

Now multiply the square feet by the cost:

360 x 5 = $1800

It will cost $1,800
