Mr. Frank is shopping for carpet for his living room and dining room. The living room is 20 feet by 16 feet and the dining room is 11 feet by 10 feet. He looked at two differently priced carpets. One for $14.99 a square yard installed and another for $19.99 a square yard installed. How much would he save by choosing the cheaper carpet?

Answer 1

[(20*16)+(11*10)]/9 = ?

$19.99 - $14.99 = $5

$5 * ? = ??
