Answer:

$13,200

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to cross multiply. Lets input the values (1,200, 100, 1,100) as shown below:

[tex]\frac{100}{1,200} = \frac{1,100}{x}[/tex]

Next we cross multiply. We multiply 100 and x, and we multiply 1,200 and 1,100.

[tex]100(x)=100x[/tex]

[tex]1,200(1,100)=1,320,000[/tex]

Now, lets put the values above back into the equation:

[tex]100x=1,320,000[/tex]

The last step is to divide 1,320,000 by 100.

[tex]x= \frac{1,320,000}{100}[/tex]

[tex]x=13,200[/tex]

It will cost $13,200 to have 1,100 square feet installed.
