Answer 1

Answer:

$792

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the carpet is 12 feet by 11 feet.

She can purchase the carpet on sale for 6$ per square foot including installation.

The area of the carpet will be calculated as follows :

$A=l\times b\\\\A=12\times 11\\A=132\ ft^2$

If the cost is $6 per square foot, then net cost will be :

Cost = 132×6

Cost = $792

So, she will spend $792 to carpet the family room.
