Q. Eva's living room is 6meters wide and 7meters long. She wants to install yellow carpet that costs $7.34 per square meter. How much will it cost to buy enough carpet for the living room?$____
Calculate Area: First, we need to calculate the area of Eva's living room to know how much carpet she needs. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width.Area = Length × WidthArea = 6 meters ×7 meters
Find Area: Now, let's perform the calculation to find the area. Area = 6meters×7meters=42square meters
Calculate Total Cost: Next, we need to calculate the total cost of the carpet. The cost per square meter is $7.34, so we will multiply the area of the room by the cost per square meter.Total Cost = Area × Cost per square meterTotal Cost = 42 square meters ×$7.34 per square meter
Find Total Cost: Let's perform the calculation to find the total cost.Total Cost = $\(42\) \times \$\(7\).\(34\) = \$\(308\).\(28\)
