Question 81

What is the respective ratio of the total cost of wooden flooring to the total cost of marble flooring?

Solution

Total area for wooden flooring = (23 x 29) + (13 x 17) = 888
Total cost of wooden flooring = 888 x 170 = 150960
Total area for marble flooring = (14 x 13) + (21 x 13) + (29 x 21) = 1064
Total cost of marble flooring = 1064 x 190 = 202160 
Ratio = 1887 : 2527
