Question

Find the cost of carpeting a room 12m blong and 8m broad with a carpet 75cm broad at the rate of rs 116.50 per metre.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of room is given as: 12m long and 8m broad;

Carpet width is 75cm = 0.75m;

Now finding the total length of the carpet;

12/0.75=16; 16 set of pieces of carpet with each 8m length is required to cover the complete area of room;

So total length of carpet = 8*16 = 128m;

Cost of carpet is Rs. 116.5 per m.

So the total cost of the carpet = 128*116.5 = 14912.00
