It costs $ 30240 to stain floor of the entire room
Solution:
Given that,
Sgt. Merritt has bought a house now that his tour of duty is up
He wants to stain the wood floors of the living room, which measure 18 x 14
Therefore,
length = 18 yards
Width = 14 yards
[tex]Area = length \times width\\\\Area = 18 \times 14\\\\Area = 252[/tex]
Thus area of wood floors is 252 square yards
The stain costs $120 per square yard
[tex]Cost = 252 \times 120\\\\Cost = 30240[/tex]
Thus it costs $ 30240 to stain floor of the entire room
