Calculating the Amount and Cost of Flooring

The formula for calculating square footage to determine amount of flooring is L x W = square yards needed 9 (square feet)

Calculate the number of square yards needed. Living room that is 18’ x 20’ ▫YOU WOULD NEED 40 Sq. Yards. Bedroom 12’ x 12’ ▫YOU WOULD NEED 16 Sq. Yards. Bathroom 9’ x 13’ ▫YOU WOULD NEED 13 Sq. Yards. Bonus room 21’ x 25’ ▫YOU WOULD NEED 59 Sq. Yards.

Calculate the cost of each flooring If you purchase 28 yards of carpet at $13.99/yard how much will you spend? ▫$ How much would it cost to put vinyl down at $22.00/yard in a kitchen that measures 14 x 18? ▫$616.00
