IBM Company Numerical Ability Area and Volume

A company decided to buy carpeting fir large rectangular reception room ,6meters wide by 15meters long,and for an adjoining hall and stairway of 40square meters .if 10%more carpet than needed is oredered to allow for wasteage ,approximately how much would the carpet cost at $7.00 a sqaure meter?

Read Solution (Total 2)

area to be covered is 6*15 +40 = 90+40 = 130 sq mtrs.
carpet reqd including wastage = 130*1.1= 143 sq mtrs.

total cost of carpet = 143*7 = $ 1001

area to be covered first 6*15=90 sq mt.
area of the stairway is 40 sq mt.
area for the adjoining hall =90-40=50 sq mt.
hence 90+40+50=180;
10 % more 180+18=198 sq mt.
so total cost is =198*7= $ 1386
