Given
Length of the room =13 m
Breadth of the room =9 m
Area of the room = (length \times breadth)
=(13×9) m
=117 m
Let the length required of the carpet be x m
Breadth of the carpet =75 cm=0.75 m
Area of the carpet =(0.75×x) m
=0.75x m
For carpeting the room
Area converted by the carpet = Area of the room
0.75x=117
x=117/0.75
x=156 m
Hence, length of the carpet =15 m
1 m carpet cost = rupees 65
156 m carpet cost will be =(156×65)
= Rupees 10140
