Question

find the cost of carpeting a room 26m by 18m with 150 cm broad carpet at the rate of 14.80 rupees per metre

Answer 1

Answer:

4617.6 Rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires that we get the area.

We first convert the cm to meters.

We have :

150/100 = 1.5 m

The width of the room is 18m

We need:

18/1.5 = 12 pieces of the carpet.

Each piece of length 26 meters.

Each meter = 14.80 rupees

26 × 14.80 = 384.80

There are 12 of them.

384.8 × 12 = 4617.6

= 4617.6 Rupees
