Find the cost of carpeting a 24 m long and 18 m broad hall with a 80 cm wide carpet at the rate of rs 8 per sq.M

Answer 1

Given: Dimensions of hall: 24 m long and 18 m broad

To find:  the cost of carpeting a hall?

Solution:

• Now we have given the dimensions of hall as:

                  24 m long and 18 m broad

• So area of hall is: 24 x 18 = 432 m^2

• Now we have given the width of carpet as 0.8 m

• So, length of carpet will be = area / width

                  432 / 0.8 = 540 m

• So now the cost of carpet is at the rate of rs 8 per sq. m.

• So, the total cost will be:

                  540 x 8 = Rs 4320

Answer:

            So the cost is Rs 4320.
