Mr. and Mrs. Gomez are buying carpet for their square-shaped bedroom, which measures 8 yd along each wall. The carpet is $23 per square yard and padding and installation is another $4 per square yard. How much will they spend in all?
Think, the area is 8*8=64. Carpet is 23 per square yard so 23*64=1472. For installation and padding just take 4*64=256. 256+1,472=1,728. The with spend $1,728 total.
