Question

How much will Alice pay for carpet that costs $4.50 per square foot?

Please show work, as I am trying to take notes for studying. Thank you !

Answer 1

so, she wants to buy 112.5 square feet of carpet.
This is our rule: C=122.5 x 4.5
if carpet costs 4.50 per square foot, you would multiply 122.5 by 4.5 ( which is the same as 4.50)
your final answer would be $551.25
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
