Jeremiah would like to replace the carpet in the dining room. The dimensions of the dining room are 128 inches x 95 inches and it is suggested to order 10% more flooring than the true square footage to account for waste when trimming and installing.

How many approximate square feet of flooring should Jeremiah should buy for his dining room?

Convert to feet: 128 in = 128/12 = 32/3 ft, 95 in = 95/12 ft.
Area = (128×95)/144 = 12160/144 = 84.444... ft².
Add 10% for waste: 84.444… × 1.10 = 92.888... ft².

So Jeremiah should buy about 93 square feet of flooring (round up to whole square feet or whole boxes).
