Question

Aiden is replacing the tile in a rectangular kitchen. The length of the kitchen is nine feet shorter than three times its width, w. The perimeter of the kitchen is six times the width. If tiles cost $1.69 a square foot, what is the total costs to tile the kitchen?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total Cost of tile =  $273.28

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let the width be = x

Then, the length of the rectangular kitchen is L = 3x - 9

The perimeter is = 6x

Suppose the cost of the tile = $1.69 a square foot.

Then the total costs to tile the kitchen is calculated as follows:

The Perimeter of the rectangle =  2(L + b)

The Perimeter of the rectangle =  2(3x - 9 + x)

The Perimeter of the rectangle =  2(4x-9)

6x = 8x - 18

- 2x = - 18

x = 18/2

x = 9

Thus, the width = x = 9 ft

the length = 3x - 9 = 3(9) - 9

the length = 27 - 9

the length = 18 ft

Area = L × W

Area = (18 × 9)ft  

Area =   162 sq. ft.

Cost of a Tile = $1.69 per sq. ft.

Thus;

Total Cost of tile = $1.69 × 162

Total Cost of tile =  $273.28
