Solution
Area of floor of a room
= 6m x 5m
= 30m2
Let the length of the carpet that is 50cm wide be l m.
∴ Area of carpet
= length x breadth
= l m x 50cm
= l x 0.5m2
Since area of carpet
= Area of floor of a room
⇒ l x 0.5 = 30
⇒ l `(30)/(0.5)`
= 60m
∴ Cost of carpet at Rs.24.50per mate
= Rs.60 x 24.50
= Rs.1470
Let the length of the carpet that is 60cm wide be L m.
∴ Area of carpet
= length x breadth
= l m x 60cm
= l x 0.6m2
Since area of carpet
= Area of floor of a room
⇒ l x 0.6 = 30
⇒ l `(30)/(0.6)`
= 50m
∴ Cost of carpet at Rs.26per mate
= Rs.50 x 26
= Rs.1300.
