You and a friend want to redecorate a 12 ft by 18 ft room, with walls 8 ft high. The door to the room is 32 in. by 80 in., the only window is 3 ft by 4 ft, and the closet opening is 80 in. high by 5 ft wide.

How much will it cost for wall-to-wall carpeting, if the carpet you want costs $15.60 per square yard when installed?

Instead of carpet, how much would it cost to install a floor laminate at $2.99 per square foot, packaged in bundles that cover 13.1 square feet? Allow 5% extra for waste—useless left-over short pieces. (You would install the laminate.)

How much will it cost to paint only the walls in the room (not inside the closet), if the paint you like costs $33 for a gallon and a gallon covers up to 400 square feet? (Hint: Make a drawing of each wall.)
