Question

A carpet store charges $231.00 to install 66 square yards of carpet. Assuming they charge the same rate per square yard regardless of the amount of carpet installed, how much would they charge to install 200 square yards of carpet? What is the unit price for installation per square yard of carpet?

Answer 1

200 Square yards = $700

Price per carpet = $3.5

Explanation:

Find price per carpet first

Let x = price of 1 square yard of carpet

66x = $231.00

x = $3.5

200x = $700
