Question

a restaurant chef wants to install a new floor in her kitchen. the kitchen measures 8 meters wide and 12 meters long, and the flooring costs $2.00 per square meter. how much will the chefs new floor cost?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the kitchen

The kitchen is a rectangle. The area formula for a rectangle is \(A = length\times width\). Given \(length = 12\) meters and \(width=8\) meters. So, \(A=12\times8 = 96\) square meters.

Step2: Calculate the cost of the flooring

The cost per square meter is \(\$2.00\). Multiply the area by the cost per - square - meter. Let \(C\) be the total cost. Then \(C=96\times2\).

$$C = 192$$

Answer:

\(192\)
