you read online that a 15ft by 20ft brick patio would cost about $2,275 to have professionally installed, estimate the cost of having a 19 by 21ft brick patio installed Round your answer to the nearest dollar $

Answer 1

Answer:

$3028

Explanation:

A 15ft by 20ft brick patio would cost about $2,275 to have professionally installed.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the patio}=15\times20 \\ =300ft^2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the unit cost (cost per ft²) will be:

$=\frac{\ 2275}{300ft^2}\text{ }$

If the dimension of the new patio is 19ft by 21ft

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the new patio=}19\times21 \\ =399ft^2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the estimated cost will be:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{\ 2275}{300ft^2}\times399ft^2 \\ =\ 3025.75 \\ =\ 3028\text{ (to the nearest dollar)} \end{gathered}$
