What will it cost to carpet a room with indoor carpet if the room is 1 m wide and 0,02 m long? The carpet costs R 15,51 per cm ²

Answer 1

To find the cost of carpeting the room, we need to calculate the area of the room and then multiply it by the cost of the carpet per square centimeter.

Given:
Width of the room = 1 m
Length of the room = 0.02 m
Cost of carpet per cm² = R 15.51

First, we need to convert the dimensions of the room from meters to centimeters, as the cost is given per square centimeter.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
0.02 meters = 0.02 x 100 = 2 centimeters

Now, we can calculate the area of the room:
Area of the room = Width x Length
Area = 1 cm x 2 cm = 2 cm²

Finally, we can find the cost of carpeting the room:
Cost = Area x Cost per cm²
Cost = 2 cm² x R 15.51/cm²

Multiplying the numbers:
Cost = 2 cm² x R 15.51/cm² = R 31.02

Therefore, it will cost R 31.02 to carpet the room with the given indoor carpet.
