First, we need to calculate the total area of the living room in square yards.
To do this, we need to convert the dimensions from feet to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can divide both the length and width by 3 to get the dimensions in yards:
Length in yards = 16 feet / 3 = 5.33 yards
Width in yards = 18 feet / 3 = 6 yards
Now we can calculate the total area in square yards:
Total area = Length x Width
Total area = 5.33 yards x 6 yards
Total area = 31.98 square yards
Now, we can calculate the total cost of the carpet:
Cost per square yard = $22
Total cost = Cost per square yard x Total area
Total cost = $22 x 31.98 square yards
Total cost = $703.56
Therefore, the carpet cost Tom $703.56.
