Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: Cost for the flooring is $ 4,231.50

Part B: Cost for the flooring is $ 5,531.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let's calculate the area of the living/dining room, this way:

Area = 26 * 25

Area = 650 ft²

Step 2:

Let's calculate the cost of the flooring if Nancy installs it:

Cost = $ 6.51 * Area of the living/dining room

Cost = 6.51 * 650

Cost = $ 4,231.50

Step 3:

Let's calculate the cost of the flooring if the flooring company installs it:

Cost = $ 8.51 * Area of the living/dining room

Cost = 8.51 * 650

Cost = $ 5,531.50
