Given:
Area of wood floor required = 320 sq ft
Cost of hardwood per sq ft = $4.59
Cost of lamination per sq ft = $2.79
Solution
Cost of hardwood :
[tex]\text{Cost of hardwood = Cost of hardwood per sq ft }\times\text{ Area of hardwood required in ft}[/tex]When we substitute the required parameters, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Cost of hardwood = \$4.59/ft }\times\text{ 320 ft} \\ =\text{ \$ 1468.8} \end{gathered}[/tex]Cost of lamination:
[tex]\text{Cost of lamination = cost of Lamination per sq ft }\times\text{ area of hardwood required in ft}[/tex]When we substitute the required parameters, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Cost of lamination = \$ 2.79/ft }\times\text{ 320 ft} \\ =\text{ \$ 892.8} \end{gathered}[/tex]The difference in cost between the two types of flooring:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Difference = Cost of using hardwood - cost of using lamination} \\ =\text{ 1468.8 - 892.8} \\ =\text{ \$ 576} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: $ 576
