30. Calculating the Amount and Cost of Flooring

31. The formula for calculating square footage to determine amount of flooring is L x W = square yards needed 9 (square feet)

32. Calculate the number of square yards needed. • Living room that is 18’ x 20’ • YOU WOULD NEED 40 Sq. Yards. • Bedroom 12’ x 12’ • YOU WOULD NEED 16 Sq. Yards. • Bathroom 9’ x 13’ • YOU WOULD NEED 13 Sq. Yards. • Bonus room 21’ x 25’ • YOU WOULD NEED 59 Sq. Yards.

33. Calculate the cost of each flooring • If you purchase 28 yards of carpet at $13.99/yard how much will you spend? • $391.72 • How much would it cost to put vinyl down at $22.00/yard in a kitchen that measures 14 x 18? • $616.00
