Julian is interested in building a new house. Three architects have given him plans. The first plan is for a house that will be 2,250 square feet. The total cost of the house will be $281,250. The second plan is for a house that will be 2,400 square feet. The total cost of the second house will be $288,000. The third plan is for a house that will be 2,500 square feet. The total cost of the third house will be $305,000. If Julian wanted to choose the plan with the least expensive cost per square foot, which would he choose?

Answer 1

Divide the cost of each house by its square footage. That will tell you the cost per square foot.

Answer 2

i divided 2,250/281,250=0.008 idk if im doing it right??

Answer 3

You did it backwards. Obviously the house doesn't cost less than a penny per square foot.
