Carpet Cleaning Pros charges $40 per room to clean, and Spot on Cleaning charges $300 to clean six rooms. List the cost per room of the less-expensive company.(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the cost per room for Spot on Cleaning, we divide the total cost by the number of rooms:

\[ \text{Cost per room for Spot on Cleaning} = \frac{300 \text{ dollars}}{6 \text{ rooms}} = 50 \text{ dollars per room} \]

Carpet Cleaning Pros charges $40 per room.

Comparing the two costs:

• Carpet Cleaning Pros: $40 per room
• Spot on Cleaning: $50 per room

The less-expensive company is Carpet Cleaning Pros, with a cost of $40 per room.
