Question

What is the cost of laying carpet in a living room that measures 25ft by 15ft. If the cost of the carpet is $15 per square yard (plus tax) and labor is $5 per square yard?
25*15 = 375 ft^2
1 yd = 9 ft^2
so
375/9 = 41 2/3 yd^2

41 2/3 * 20 = $833.33

no way , use cheaper carpet and install it yourself !

25 feet = 8.333 yards
15 feet = 5 yards

15 * 8.333 * 5 * 5 = $_________

I assume the tax is included in the $15 per square yard.
