A rectangular hotel room is 4 yards by 5 yards. The owner of the hotel wants to recarpet the room with carpet that costs $76.00 per square yard. How much will it cost to recarpet the room? $
The area of a rectangle is length * width, so we have:
A = 5 yards * 4 yards
A = 20 square yards
Total cost = Cost per square yard * total square yards
Total Cost = $76 * 20
Total Cost = $1520
