Question

a room that is 20 by 30 needs a new carpet. if it costs $1.19/ sq. foot, how much will the carpet cost? plz help. how do you do sq. feet?!?!?!

Answer 1

Formula1

LENGTH x WIDTH =  area

                        30    x    20      = 600

Formula2

"600 IS THE AREA"

                   AREA x PRICE PER SQ.= cost

                       600    x          1.19              =  714.

FINAL Answer

Cost = $714.00

Answer 2

Er, this is not really alternative...

Answer 3

20x30x1.19

Answer 4

Assuming the the measurements are in feet, the area of the room would be 600sq. ft. The cost would be 600 times 1.19                                

  $ 714.00

Answer 5

First find the area of thr room by multipling length times width.

20 * 30 = 600

then 600 times 1.19

600 * 1.19 = $714

the answer is $714

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

If this is for a math class, then a square foot is a square that measures 12 inches on each side.  You can then picture that you could lay 30 of those out in a row and that would run the length of your room.  You would then need 20 of those rows.  So you could add all of that up or you could multiply, like has been previously discussed.

However if this is for someone purchasing carpet, you should know that carpet generally comes in 12 foot wide rolls plus or minus a bit depending on the mill where it's made.  and you'll probably have to buy 60 linear feet or 720 square feet, this will give you one seam running the length of the room.  Alternatively you could hope that the roll is exactly 12 feet wide and you could buy 50 linear feet but this will give you three seams.  If it's being installed for you, then it will probably be figured the second way.  Although the first way gives a better installation.

It's the difference between theoretical and reality.

Answer 7

Hey Twinkie, you should be doing your own homework.  You will feel much better about yourself.  You can't imagine the high you can get by knowing that you solved the problem.  If you cheat, you are only cheating yourself.  You deserve better.  Go for it!

Answer 8

Area of Room

= 20 feet * 30 feet

= 600 square feet

Cost of Carpet

= 600 * $1.19

=$714

The carpet costs $714

Answer 9

Hey Dude the answer is $714 plus tax and installation, not to mention you may need to replace the padding ( padding not calculated)

$714 x 8.25% tax in California ( your state may vary)

8.25% tax = $58.90

$714 + $58.90 = $772.90 without padding and installation

Answer 10

20 x 30 = 600 sq.feets

600 x 1.19$ = 714.00$ plus taxes

Answer 11

Area(square feet) =lenght(in feet) times width(in feet)

Area                        =30feet                 *      20feet

Area                        =600square feet

Price1.19 for 1 square foot

Therefore 600 square feet * 1.19per foot= $714.00

Answer 12

you have 600 sq ft  multiply one side times the other

Answer 13

it will cost approximately  59.50

Answer 14

Square feet can be found by multiplying the size of the room

20 feet * 30 feet = 600 square feet

The cost of the carpet can then be found.

Answer 15

Diametions of the room have been mentioned without units. If the the diamentions are in ft then solution is as follows

Area of the room= 20x30 = 600 sq ft ( area of the carpet is the same as area of the room)

Rate of the carpet / sqr ft= 1.19 $

Total cost of the carpet= 600x1.19 = 714 $

Answer 16

20 X 30 = 600 SQ. FT.

600 X $ 1.19 = $ 714. PLUS YOU WILL NEED TO ADD THE COST OF BACKING, TRANSPORTATION, TAX  AND LABOR.

Answer 17

20 * 30 = 600

600 x 1.19 = $714
