To find the cost to carpet the room, we multiply the cost per square foot by the total area of the room.
Cost per square foot = $5.79
Area of the room = 86 square feet
Total cost = Cost per square foot × Area of the room
Total cost = $5.79 × 86
Now, let's calculate that:
\[
Total cost = 5.79 \times 86 = 497.94
\]
Thus, the cost to carpet the room, not including sales tax, is **$497.94**.
Cost per square foot = $5.79
Area of the room = 86 square feet
Total cost = Cost per square foot × Area of the room
Total cost = $5.79 × 86
Now, let's calculate that:
\[
Total cost = 5.79 \times 86 = 497.94
\]
Thus, the cost to carpet the room, not including sales tax, is **$497.94**.
