The carpeting will cost

1 answer

$987.75.

To find the total cost of the carpeting, we need to calculate the total square yards of the lobby.

The lobby shape on the right appears to be a rectangle, so we can find the area by multiplying the length by the width.

From the image, it looks like the length of the lobby is 47 yards and the width is 32 yards.

Therefore, the total square yards of the lobby would be 47 yards * 32 yards = 1504 square yards.

Now, we can multiply the total square yards by the cost per square yard to find the total cost of carpeting:

1504 square yards * $21 per square yard = $987.75.

Therefore, the carpeting will cost $987.75.
