A rectangular floor that measures 8 meters by 10 meters is to be covered with carpet squares that each measure 2 meters by 2 meters . If a carpet square costs Tk. 12, calculate the total cost to cover 23 of the floor? Correct Answer Tk. 160
Number of carpets required to cover the entire floor = total floor area/ area of carpet = 10x8 /2x2 = 20 Total cost of carpet squares = 20 x 12x(2/3) = Tk. 160
