Question

6(b). Johnson and Jocatol Ltd. owned a business office measuring 15 m by 8 m which was to be carpeted. The cost of carpeting was GH¢890.00 per square metre. If a total of GH¢216,120.00 was spent on painting and carpeting, how much was the cost of painting?

Model answer

Floor area = 15×8 = 120 m². Cost of carpeting = 120×890 = GH¢106,800. Cost of painting = 216,120 − 106,800 = GH¢109,320.

Accepted Answer

Floor area = 15×8 = 120 m². Cost of carpeting = 120×890 = GH¢106,800. Cost of painting = 216,120 − 106,800 = GH¢109,320.
