A hotel conference center is building an indoor fitness area measuring 150 ft times 50 ft. The flooring to cover the space is made of a special​ three-layered cushioned tile and costs $ 10.00 per square foot. How much will the new flooring​ cost?

Question

The new flooring will cost ​$

Answer 1

To find the total cost of the new flooring, we first need to calculate the area of the fitness area and then multiply that by the cost per square foot.

1. Calculate the area of the fitness area: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 150 , \text{ft} \times 50 , \text{ft} = 7500 , \text{ft}^2 \]

2. Calculate the total cost of the flooring: \[ \text{Cost} = \text{Area} \times \text{Cost per square foot} = 7500 , \text{ft}^2 \times 10.00 , \text{$ per ft}^2 = 75000 , \text{$} \]

Therefore, the new flooring will cost $75,000.
