Jim had new carpet installed in his living room, which measures 18

Question

feet x 21 feet. How much did the carpet cost him if the price was
$21 per square yard?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the total square footage of the living room:

18 feet x 21 feet = 378 square feet

Next, we need to convert square feet to square yards since the price is given per square yard. There are 9 square feet in a square yard:

378 square feet / 9 = 42 square yards

Now, we can calculate the total cost of the carpet:

42 square yards x $21 per square yard = $882

Therefore, Jim paid $882 for the carpet.
