Answer 2

Given: Cost of flooring a room at Rs. 16 per square meter = Rs. 480

To find: Area of the floor

Let: Area be $x \ m^{2}$

Solution: Given that,

Cost of flooring 1 $m^{2}$ area = Rs. 16

Total cost incurred on flooring the room = Rs. 480

If cost of flooring 1 $m^{2}$ area is Rs. 16, then cost of flooring $x \ m^{2}$ area must be $Rs.(x \ * \ 16)$

i.e., $x \ * \ 16 = 480$  (given)

⇒ $x = \frac{480}{16} = 30$

Hence, the area of the floor is 30 $m^{2}$.
