Question

Kala needs 54.3 square feet of flooring. Each square foot of flooring costs $0.62 . How much money does Kala need to purchase the flooring ? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

In order to calculate how much money will be needed, we just need to multiply the area of floor needed by the cost of each square meter:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Price}=54.3\cdot0.62 \\ \text{Price}=33.666 \end{gathered}$

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we have a total cost of $33.67.
