Answer:

666.95 $

Explanation:

If In a scale drawing of a dining room floor plan 10 mm = 2 meters

then 40 mm = (40 × 2) / 10 = 8 meters

and 32 mm = (32 × 2) / 10 = 6.4 meters

area of the dining room = 8 × 6.4 = 51.2 m²

1 square yard = 0.836 squared meters (m²) and it costs 10.89 $

Now we devise the following reasoning:

if        0.836 m² of flooring costs 10.89 $

then       51.2 m² of flooring costs X $

X = (51.2 × 10.89) / 0.836 = 666.95 $
