Question

Jackie wants to put trim around the base of all the walls in her bedroom. The price of the trim is $1.19 per linear foot. How much will it cost her for the trim?A.$45.00B.$54.00C.$53.55D.$64.26

Answer 1

We have the following figure:

First let's find the perimeter of the figure:

$P=10+12+15+5+12=54ft$

since one linear foot costs $1.19 of the trim, then the total cost would be:

$54(1.19)=64.26$

therefore, it will cost $64.26 for the trim.
