Question

A car park measures 400m by 80m. How much would it cost to put a new surface on it, if the surfacing cost is £10 a m^2?

Answer 1

The cost to put a new surface on the car park would be £320,000. This is calculated by multiplying the area of the car park (400m x 80m = 32,000 m^2) by the cost of the surfacing (£10/m^2). 32,000 m^2 x £10/m^2 = £320,000.
