A carpet store advertises 16 yards of carpeting for $300, which includes the $60 installation fee in the price. Let x represents the cost of one square yard of carpet. What is the price for one square yard of carpet?

Respuesta :

Answer:one yard costs $15 (x=15)

Step-by-step explanation:

300-60=240. So, 16 yards=$240

16x=240

240/16=15

X=15 (one yard costs $15)

The price for  one square yard of carpet is $15.

Given that,

  • A carpet store advertises 16 yards of carpeting for $300, which includes the $60 installation fee in the price.
  • Let x represents the cost of one square yard of carpet.  

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:
