Answer 1

To determine the cost of the carpet, we need to calculate the total area of the room being carpeted and then multiply that area by the cost per square foot of carpet.

Assuming you have already assessed the area to be carpeted (whether it’s given or would need to be calculated based on dimensions from the model), you would use the following formula:

**Total cost = Area (in ft²) × Cost per ft²**

Given that the cost of 1 ft² of carpet is $20, you can substitute into the formula.

Here’s how you could proceed if you had the area:

1. Calculate the area in square feet.
2. Multiply that area by $20 to find the total cost.

If, for example, the area turns out to be 61 ft², you would calculate:

Total cost = 61 × $20 = $1,220

However, to match with the choices you provided, check the area calculated from your image and multiply it by $20 to find which one of the provided options matches.

Without the specific values or dimensions, I cannot give you the exact answer. But just follow this method based on the area you will derive. Please provide the area if needed to facilitate the calculation or confirm which of the choices above corresponds to your total.
