Answer:

It will cost $60.00 to buy enough carpet for the living room.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Victor's living room is 5 meters wide and 6 meters long.

He wants to install blue carpet that costs $2.00 per square meter.

Now, to find the cost to buy carpet for the living room.

Dimensions of living room:

Length = 6 meters.

Width = 5 meters.

Now, to get the area of living room by putting formula:

[tex]Area=length\times width[/tex]

[tex]Area=6\times 5[/tex]

[tex]Area=30 \ square\ meter.[/tex]

Area of the living room = 30 square meter.

Cost of installing carpet = $2.00 per square meter.

Now, to get the cost of carpet for the living room:

Cost of carpet =  Area of the living room × cost of installing carpet

                         = [tex]30\times 2.00[/tex]

                         = [tex]\$60.00.[/tex]

Thus, the cost of carpet = $60.00.

Therefore, it will cost $60.00 to buy enough carpet for the living room.
