Mrs Rivas wants to install carpet in her basement and family room. Her basement is 62/square yards and her family room is 18/square yards if carpet costs $13/per square yard ,how much will it cost to carpe these two rooms?

Respuesta :

It will cost $1040 in the two rooms

For this case we have that the total cost will be given by:

[tex]C {t} = C {b} + C_ {f}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]C_ {b}:[/tex] Cost of installing carpet in the basement

[tex]C_ {f}:[/tex] Cost of installing carpet in the family room

So:

[tex]C_ {b} = 62 \ yard ^ 2 * 13 \frac {dollars} {yard ^ 2}\\C_ {b} = 806 \ dollars[/tex]

Also:

[tex]C_ {f} = 18 \ yard ^ 2 * 13 \frac {dollars} {yard ^ 2}\\C_ {f} = 234 \ dollars[/tex]

Thus, the total cost will be:

[tex]C_ {t} = 806 + 234\\C_ {t} = 1040[/tex]

ANswer:

The total cost will be 1040 dollars
