Question

Max goes to a store to buy a carpet for his room.
He buys a carpet of dimensions 30 feet × 16 feet.
If the cost of the carpet is $2 per square feet, find the total amount he spent on the carpet.

• A. $860
• B. $480
• C. $1060
• D. $960

Answer 1

The correct option is D $960

Dimensions of the carpet = 30 feet × 16 feet

So,
Length of the carpet = 30 feet
Width of the carpet = 16 feet

Area of the carpet = Length × Width
= 30 × 16
= 480 square feet

$\text{Cost of carpet}=\$2\text{per square feet}$

$\text{∴ Total amount spent}=\$2\times 480=\$960$

So, Max spent $960 on a carpet for his room.
