Question

Jim had new carpet installed in his living room, which measures 18
feet x 21 feet. How much did the carpet cost him if the price was
$21 per square yard?
a. $882
b. $4,200
c. $3,780
d. $378

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the measurements from feet to yards:

18 feet = 6 yards
21 feet = 7 yards

Then, we can find the total square yards:

6 yards x 7 yards = 42 square yards

Finally, we can calculate the cost:

42 square yards x $21 per square yard = $882

Therefore, the answer is a. $882.
