Question

1. wes had a contractor remodel his kitchen. the remodel cost $15,400. if the dimensions of the kitchen are 12 ft. by 13 ft., how much did wes pay per square foot for the remodel? $108 $99 $125 $91

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate kitchen area

The kitchen is a rectangle. The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l = 13$ ft and $w = 12$ ft. So $A=12\times13 = 156$ square - feet.

Step2: Calculate cost per square - foot

The total cost of the remodel is $C = 15400$. To find the cost per square - foot $p$, we use the formula $p=\frac{C}{A}$. Substitute $C = 15400$ and $A = 156$ into the formula: $p=\frac{15400}{156}\approx99$.

Answer:

$99$
