Reid's dining room is 4 yards wide and 7 yards long. Reid wants to install a new wood floor. It will cost $6.59 per square yard. How much will Reid's new floor cost?

2 answers

$ = yd^2 * $/yd^2
so multiply the area by 6.59
Multiply the length times the width:

4 × 7 = 28

The area is 28 square yards. Now multiply the price per square yard by the area.

$6.59
× 28
5272
+ 13180
$184.52

Reid's new floor will cost $184.52.
