answer

The carpet can be arranged as stops in

the room such that the LENGTH of

the carpet is along the breadth of\the room

⇒ no. of carpet strips needed =

breadthofcarpet

lengthofroom

(0.75m)

12m

no. of carpet strips needed = 8

∴ 8 carpet strips each 8m long are required to fill

the room with carpet.

1 m of 1 carpet strip COSTS 116.50 Rs

8 m of 1 carpet strip cost =116.50×8

cost for one carpet strip = Rs 932

we need 8 such carpet strips to cover the room

∴ cost =8×932=Rs7456

∴ The cost carpeting the room is Rs 7456 .
