Using Area to Calculate Cost
📚 What You'll Learn
- Applying area to real-world cost problems
- Calculating cost per square unit
- Multiplying area by price to find total cost
- Problem-solving with area and money
In this video, we're going to learn how to use area to calculate cost.
In the real world, many things are priced by area - like carpet, tile, or fabric. If you know the cost per square unit, you can multiply it by the total area to find the total cost.
For example, if carpet costs $2 per square foot and you need to cover 20 square feet, the total cost would be 2 × 20 = $40.
This is a practical way to use your area skills in everyday life!
Now you're ready to solve cost problems using area.
