Wallpaper was applied to one rectangular wall of a large room. The dimensions of the wall are shown below. If the total cost of the wallpaper was $771.12, what was the cost, in dollars of the wallpaper per square foot?

Answer:
The cost of the wallpaper was 0.72 dollars per square foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we calculate the area of the wallpaper in square foot:
A = 42 ft x 25.5 ft = 1071 ft^2
Then we divide the total cost by the area:
C/A= $771.12 / 1071 ft^2 = 0.72 $/ft^2
