Answer:

[tex]Total = \$7800[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Cost = \$32.50[/tex] per square yard

[tex]Length = 432.0ft[/tex]

[tex]Width = 5.0ft[/tex]

Required

Determine the cost of carpet and installation

First, calculate the area of the carpet

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

[tex]Area = 432.0ft * 5.0ft[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2160ft^2[/tex]

Convert to square yard

[tex]Area = \frac{2160yd^2}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Area = 240yd^2[/tex]

The cost is then calculated as:

[tex]Total= Area * Unit\ Cost[/tex]

[tex]Total = 240 * \$32.50[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$7800[/tex]
