To determine the total cost of carpeting the three areas, follow these steps:
1. Begin by calculating the total area that needs carpeting. You have three sections with the following areas:
- Ping-Pong area: 44.1 square yards
- Entryway: 19.8 square yards
- Stage/Seating area: 67.1 square yards
Add these areas together to get the total area:
[tex]\[
\text{Total area} = 44.1 + 19.8 + 67.1 = 131.0 \text{ square yards}
\][/tex]
2. Next, determine the cost per square yard for the carpeting. The cost is given as [tex]$13.39 per square yard.
3. Calculate the total cost by multiplying the total area by the cost per square yard:
\[
\text{Total cost} = 131.0 \text{ square yards} \times 13.39 \text{ dollars per square yard}
\]
4. Perform the multiplication to find the total cost:
\[
\text{Total cost} = 1754.09 \text{ dollars}
\]
Therefore, the total bill for carpeting these three areas will be \$[/tex]1754.09.
