Question

Sam receives $7.50 per square yard to install hardwood flooring. How much does he receive for installing 180 square yards of flooring?

Answer 1

$1350.

Explanation:

Because he gets $7.50 for each square yard, the more square yards he installs, the more he will receive.

To find the specific amount, multiply the amount for each square yard by the total number of square yards he installs.

`$7.50 " per square yard" * 180 " square yards" = $1350.00`

If you want to find the amount for any number of square yards, use a linear graph: `y=7.50x` The amount he receives (y) equals the amount per square yard (7.50) times the number of square yards he installs (x).

graph{y=7.50x [-28.86, 28.88, -15.06, 15]}
