What will it cost to carpet a room with indoor/outdoor carpet if the room is 10 feet wide and 12 feet long? The carpet costs 12.51 per square yard. (1 yard = 3 feet)

A. $166.80
B. $175.90
C. $184.30
D. $189.90
E. $192.20


The cost for the carpet for the room is:

10/3 x 12/3 x 12.51

10/3 x 4 x 12.51 = $166.80

Alternative solution:

Since 1 yd^2 = 9 ft^2, the carpet costs 12.51/9 = $1.39 per square foot. Thus the cost of the carpet for the room is:

10 x 12 x 1.39 = $166.80

Answer: A

A. $166.80
B. $175.90
C. $184.30
D. $189.90
E. $192.20

Area = 10/3 * 12/3
= 40/3

Cost = 40/3 * 12.51 = $166.80

IMO A
