Alex wants wall-to-wall carpeting in his office which measures 25’ x 18’ carpeting is $25 per square yard estimate the cost a $836 b $1250 c $1010 d $652

The cost of carpeting is $1250 ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Alex wants wall-to-wall carpeting in his office

- The measures of it is 25 feet by 18 feet

- The cost of the carpet is $25 per square yard

* At first lets change the measures of carpeting from feet to yard

∵ 1 yard = 3 feet ⇒ divide both sides by 3

∴ 1 foot = 1/3 yard

∵ The dimensions of carpeting are 25 feet and 18 feet

∴ 25 × 1/3 = 25/3 yards

∴ 18 × 1/3 = 6 yards

∴ The dimensions of carpeting are 25/3 yards and 6 yards

* Lets find the area of carpeting to calculate its cost

∵ The Area carpeting is the product of the dimensions

∴ Area = 25/3 × 6 = 50 yard²

∵ The cost of 1 square yard of carpeting is $25

∴ The cost of the carpet = 50 × 25 = 1250

* The cost of carpeting is $1250
