To find the cost of putting a new concrete floor in the garage, we first need to calculate the area of the garage.
The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by the formula:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
In this case, the garage is 12 yards long and 8 yards wide:
\[
A = 12 \, \text{yards} \times 8 \, \text{yards} = 96 \, \text{square yards}
\]
Next, we calculate the cost to put in the concrete floor. The cost per square yard is $5.00. Therefore, the total cost \( C \) can be calculated using the formula:
\[
C = A \times \text{cost per square yard}
\]
Substituting the known values:
\[
C = 96 \, \text{square yards} \times 5.00 \, \text{dollars/square yard} = 480 \, \text{dollars}
\]
Thus, the total cost to put in a new concrete floor in the garage is **$480.00**.
