Q. A customer wants to re-carpet a living room andhallway. You charge $5.99 per square yard toremove old carpet and $4.50 per square yard toinstall the new carpet. The carpet and pad theyselected are $16.99 and $3.00 per square yard,respectively. The living room is 17 1/2 by 20 feet andthe hall is 4 by 12 feet. About how much should youcharge for this job?

Sagot :

Living Room Area = 17.5 x 20 = 350 sq ft

Hall Area = 4 x 12 = 48 sq. ft.

Total area of carpeting: 340 + 48 = 398 sq. ft.

We need to convert total area in sq ft to sq yd. The conversion ratio is

1 sq ft = 0.11 sq yd

So, 398 sq ft would be:

398 * 0.11 = 44.22 sq yd.

Carpet removing rate is 5.99 per sq yd.

Removing rate would be:

44.22 * 5.99 = $264.88

Assuming you gotta install both carpet and pad,

Carpet + pad = 16.99 + 3 = 19.99 per sq yd.

You gotta buy for 44.22 sq yd.

So, it will cost (carpet):

44.22 * 19.99 = $883.96

Installing rate 4.50 per sq yrd, so to carpet 44.22 sq yd, would need:

4.50*44.22 = $198.99

Assuming carpet is provided by installation guys, total charge:

264.88 + 883.96 + 198.99 = $1,347.83
