    Answer:

    The total cost of adding wallpaper to the room is $487.20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Basically, how I got the answer is:

    1. The shorter sides of the rectangle are 12 and the longer sides are 14.

    2. The formula for a rectangle is A = l x w. The “l” means length and the “w” means width. 14 is the length and 12 is the width. So you should now have A = 14 x 12. If you multiply 14 by 12, you will get 168.

    3. Since 1 square foot of carpet costs $2.90, then you should multiply by 168, which will give you $487.20 and that’s pretty much it.

    Hope this helps! 🙂
