Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of each bedroom is the product of its length and width.
Bdrm 1 area = (14 ft)×(14 ft) = 196 ft²
Bdrm 2 area = (11 ft)×(12 ft) = 132 ft²
Bdrm 3 area = (12 ft)×(11 ft) = 132 ft²
Then the total area of carpet needed is ...
196 ft² +132 ft² +132 ft² = 460 ft²
There are 9 ft² in each square yard, so the number of square yards needed is ...
(460 ft²)/(9 ft²/yd²) = 51.11... yd²
Since we can only obtain whole square yards, 52 square yards are needed. The cost of that will be ...
(52 yd²)×($24.61/yd²) = $1279.72
The cost of carpeting for the three bedrooms will be $1279.72.
