Answer:
b. $1215.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the room can be figured any of several ways. One easy way is to figure the area of the enclosing 8 ft by 12 ft rectangle, then subtract area of the 3 ft by 5 ft cutout at upper left.
A = (8 ft)(12 ft) - (3 ft)(5 ft) = (96 -15) ft^2 = 81 ft^2
At a cost of $15 for each square foot, the installed flooring will cost ...
($15 /ft^2)(81 ft^2) = $(15·81) = $1215
