Cost Calculation


1. **Calculate the cost of carpet for Jonah** Jonah needs 14 square metres of carpet and each square metre costs 85. Total cost = $14 \times 85$ Calculate the multiplication: $$14 \times 85 = 1190$$ So, Jonah will pay 1190 for the carpet. 2. **Calculate the total cost for the manager at the hardware shop** - She buys 34 tins of paint, each costing 125. Cost of paint tins = $34 \times 125 = 4250$ - She buys 16 paint brushes, each costing 34. Cost of paint brushes = $16 \times 34 = 544$ - Total cost = cost of paint tins + cost of brushes: $$4250 + 544 = 4794$$ The manager will spend 4794 in total. 3. **Answers to a), b), and c)** These seem to be time intervals: a) An 8 hour day = 8 hours b) A five-day week = $5 \times 24$ hours = 120 hours c) A 21-day month = $21 \times 24$ hours = 504 hours **Final answers:** - Jonah's carpet cost: 1190 - Manager's total hardware shop expense: 4794 - a) 8 hours - b) 120 hours - c) 504 hours
