1.	The length of a room is 50 per cent more than its breadth.The cost of carpeting the room at the rate of * 38.50m2 is924 and the cost of painting the walls at the rate of * 5.50per m² is 1,320. Find the dimensions of the room.
Answer» ANSWER: ANSWER: Step-by-step explanation: Let the BREADTH of the floor be x meters so, Lenght of the room = 1x/2 +x meters = 3x/2 meters Rate of carpeting the floor = 38.50 PER m2 Total cost of carpeting the room = 924 ATQ Lenght × Breadth × 38.50 = 924 x × 3x/2 × 38.50 = 924 3x2/2 × 38.50 = 924 3x2 × 19.25 = 924 3x2 = 924 ÷ 19.25 3x2 = 48 x2 = 16 x = 4 meters so, lenght = 6 meters breadth = 4 meters

ANSWER:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the BREADTH of the floor be x meters

so, Lenght of the room = 1x/2 +x meters

= 3x/2 meters

Rate of carpeting the floor = 38.50 PER m**2

Total cost of carpeting the room = 924

ATQ

Lenght × Breadth × 38.50 = 924

x × 3x/2 × 38.50 = 924

3x**2/2 × 38.50 = 924

3x**2 × 19.25 = 924

3x**2 = 924 ÷ 19.25

3x**2 = 48

x**2 = 16

x = 4 meters

so, lenght = 6 meters

breadth = 4 meters
