as a general contractor, you will be replacing the hardwood floors of a loft office space. the client has selected flooring that costs $3.79 per square foot. the rectangular office space is 14 feet long and 15 feet wide. what is the cost of the flooring?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of rectangle

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l = 14$ feet and $w = 15$ feet. So $A=14\times15 = 210$ square - feet.

Step2: Calculate cost of flooring

The cost per square - foot is $\$3.79$. Multiply the area by the cost per square - foot. So the cost $C=3.79\times210=\$795.9$.

Answer:

$795.9$
