The area of the room floor = length * width = 8*4 sq. m = 32 square meters
If a square meter of carpet costs 10 pounds
then 32 sq. m. of carpet will cost = 1= * 32 = 320 pounds.

8 x 4 = 32 m²
32 x 10 = £320

first, solve for the area of the room floor
Area = length X width
based on the given:
length = 8 meters
width = 4 meters
by substitution
Area = 8 X 4
= 32 m^2
to get the cost multiply the area by the price per square meter
price = 32m^2(£10/m^2)
= £320

Area = 32 m²
Cost = 32 x £10 = £320

The area of the room is 8x4 = 32 sq. m
Thus the total price of the carpet is 32 x £10= £320

£320 8*4 =32 32*10 = 320 depends though on what size of carpet is avail cos you might have to buy 5m by 8m etc so costing would increase with waste....

=(area of base) * (cost per square meter)
=(8*4)*(10)
=320 pounds
