The cost to  recarpet the orchestra pit to the nearest penny is 13475penny

Since we are not given the area of the orchestra pit, we can assume that the area of the orchestra pit is 38.50 square feet

If the carpet costs $3.50 per square foot, then;

  • 1 square foot = $3.50

To get the cost of 38.50 square feet orchestra pit, we can write;

  • 38.50 square foot = x

Divide both expressions;

[tex]\frac{1}{38.50} =\frac{3.50}{x}\\x =38.50 \times 3.50\\x= \$134.75[/tex]

Hence the cost to  recarpet the orchestra pit to the nearest penny is 13475penny
