A rectangular garage is 10 meters long and 6 meters wide. It costs $4.18 per square meter to put in a new concrete floor. How much would it cost to put a new concrete floor in the garage?

Answer 1

To calculate the cost of putting a new concrete floor in the garage, we need to first find the area of the garage and then multiply that by the cost per square meter.

1. Calculate the area of the garage: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 10 , \text{meters} \times 6 , \text{meters} = 60 , \text{square meters} \]

2. Calculate the cost: \[ \text{Cost} = \text{Area} \times \text{Cost per square meter} = 60 , \text{square meters} \times 4.18 , \text{dollars/square meter} = 250.80 , \text{dollars} \]

Therefore, the cost to put a new concrete floor in the garage would be $250.80.
