Question

You are wallpapering two walls of a room. One wall measures 15 ft by 12 ft and the other measures 9 ft by 12 ft. The wall paper costs $19.40 per roll, and each roll covers 50 square feet. What does it cost to cover the two walls?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.76 round off to 6

Explanation:

wall 1 = 15 × 12 = 180

wall 2 = 9 × 12 = 108

now 1 roll covers 50 square feet

formula = wall 1 + wall 2 / 50

= 180 + 108 / 50

= 288÷ 50

= 5.76
