Question

Mr. Schneider paid $2276.35 to have a landscaper build a patio with the dimension below. How much did the landscaper charge for each square metre of patio? 3.2m 5.4m 1.8m 1.2m

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given the dimension. Let us say the shape of the patio is a rectangle with length 30m and width 18m.

Area of the rectangle = Length * Width

Area of the rectangle = 30 * 18

Area of the rectangle = 540m²

This means that 540m² of the patio costs $2276.35. To get the cost of each square metre of patio, we will say;

540m² = $2276.35

1m² = x

cross multiply;

540x = $2276.35

x = $2276.35/540

x = $4.22

Hence each square meter of patio will cost $4.22

Note that the dimension of patio was assumed. Same explanation can be employed for any dimension.
