Question

Jerry is paving the parking spot shown below. It costs $50 to pave each square meter.

Find the cost to pave the parking spot

Answer 1

$1250

Explanation:

6 1/4 × 4 = 25

25 × 50= cost

Cost = 1250

Answer 2

The parking space is in the shape of a parallelogram, so to find the area needed to pave it, you will use the formula for finding area of a parallelogram.

A = 4 x 6 1/4
A = 25 square meters

You will pave 25 square meters.

25 x 50 = 1250

You will pay $1250.
