Question

Chance has hired a construction crew to renovate his kitchen. They charge $3.92 per square foot for materials and $124.26 per day of labor. Chance spent $3,233.54 on the renovation. If the number of square feet is 269 more than the number of days it took for the renovation, how long did the renovation take?

A. 20 days

B. 17 days

C. 3 days

D. 15 days

Please show your work so I can understand how you got the answer. :)

Answer 1

The answer is B. 17 days
First you subtract 3,233.54 from 269(3.92)
Then you’ll get 2,179.06
Then you simply divide 2,179.06/124.26
Which equals 17.5362....
I really hope this helps :)
