It costs $ 733 to have the room carpeted
Solution:
Given that,
Jane plans to have new carpet installed in her living room
She measures and finds that the room is 300 square feet
[tex]Area = 300\ ft^2[/tex]
Convert feet to yard
[tex]1\ yard = 3\ foot\\\\1\ foot = \frac{1}{3}\ yard[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]300\ ft^2 = 300 \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}\ yard^2\\\\300\ ft^2 =33.33\ yard^2[/tex]
The carpet she wants sells for $22 per square yard installed
Cost = 22 per square yard
Therefore,
For 33.33 square yard, cost is given as:
[tex]Cost = 33.33 \times 22 = 733.26 \approx 733[/tex]
Thus, it costs $ 733 to have the room carpeted
