Answers
Answer:
The total cost of covering the floor of the room with carpet is 2500 Rs
Step-by-step Explanation :
Given : Length of room = 10m
Breadth of room = 8m
Width of carpet = 80cm
Rate of carpet = 25 Rs/ metre
To find : Total cost of Flooring = ?
Area of floor of the room = 10 × 8 = 80m²
Let the length of the carpet be 'l' m.
Area of carpet = length x breadth
= l × 80/100
= 0.80l m²
Since,
Area of carpet = Area of floor of the room
Substituting the value in above formula we get,
0.80l = 80
l = 80/0.80
= 100m
But, Rate of carpet = 25 per metre ------- ( given )
Cost of carpet = 25 × 100 = 2500 Rs
Hence the total cost of covering the floor of the room with carpet is 2500 Rs
