To calculate the total cost of the carpet, we multiply the area by the price per square foot:
Total cost = area * price per square foot
Total cost = 567.5 * 7.98
Total cost = $4,529.65
Since the budget for carpet is $4,250, Jonathan is over the budget by $4,529.65 - $4,250 = $279.65.
Therefore, the correct response would be:
He is over the budget by $279.65.
