Respuesta :

1 blue square on drawing is length 1/4 in but that means 4ft in reality.

so one blue square area correspongs to 4x4 = 16 square feet.

(a) there 6 tiles for the batrhroom = 6x16 sq.ft = 96 sq.ft and the cost will be $480

(b) bedroom + living area = 7x8-8 tiles = 48 tiles = 48 x 16 sq.ft. = 768 sq.ft = 85.33 sq. yards. So the cost will be 85.33*18=$1535.94

(c) unit cost for tile: $5/sq.ft

unit cost for carpet: $1535.94/768sq.ft = $2/sq.ft

The tile has a greater unit cost ($5 per sq.ft) than carpet ($2 per sq.ft)
