Can you help me figure out the area of my basement?

Question

I need the answer in yards. If you want to go the extra mile, tell me how much I will pay for carpet installation. There are 3 areas to be covered:

15 ft x12 ft
30 ft x12 ft
17 ft x12 ft

The carpet guy will charge me $3.50 per square yard.

Answer 1

Well, the first area is 15 ft * 12 ft = 180 sq. ft.
The second is 30 ft * 12 ft = 360 sq. ft.
The third is 17 ft * 12 ft = 204 sq. ft.
Total number of sq. ft. = 180 + 360 + 204 = 744

Now to convert to yards.
744 sq. ft. = 82.67 sq. yd.

At $3.50 per sq. yd., you will be charged (3.5 * 82.67) or
$289.35

But here's the real question- why do you want to carpet your basement?????

Answer 2

Three feet equals one yard.

So that’s:

1. 5 yards * 4 yards = 20 square yards
2. 10 yards * 4 yards = 40 square yards
3. 5.67 yards * 4 yards = 22.68 square yards

This comes to a total of 82.68 square yards.

82.68 square yards * $3.50 per square yard = $289.38

$289.38 is the total cost, but I’m not sure if that includes installation.

Answer 3

1. 15x12ft=180 sq ft.
2. 30x12ft=360 sq ft.
3 17x12ft=204 sq ft.

divide each by 9 (nine sq ft in each sq yd):
1. 20 sq yds.
2. 40 sq yds.
3. 22.7 sq yds.

multiply by $3.50
1. $70
2. $140
3 $79.45

total $289.45

I suggest you double check the math.

Answer 4

From Excel:
1512180
3012360
1712204
744 square feet
divide by 982.66666667 square yards
multiply by 3.50289.3333333
$289, call it $290 and then add a tip! ha ha

;-D Don't forget to figure in the stairs!

Answer 5

You have around 83 square yards. It should cost about $290 if my math was right

Answer 6

your total square footage is 744 square feet. take 744 and divide it by 9. this will give you total yards

Answer 7

The formula set up is
LxWxH
$3.50x62=

Answer 8

your areas are :
20 sqr. yds
40 sqr. yds
22.67 sqr. yds
total : 82.67 sqr. yds
@ $3.5 / sqr. yds it should cost you : $289.35
