Manuel wants to replace the wooden floor at his gym. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 40 feet and its width is 25 feet. Suppose wood flooring costs 11$ for each square foot. How much will the wood flooring cost for the floor?

Answer 1

$11,000

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

the dimension of the gym is

length = 40ft

width= 25ft

Area= 40*25

Area= 1000ft^2

Step two:

if 1ft^2 will cost $11

then 1000ft^2 will cost x

cross multiply

x=1000*11

x=$11,000

The cost for the floor is $11,000
