Let Length (x) be 20 and Width (Y) be 5

And cost equals 50.

So price per square foot equals

Cost/Total Area i.e. L*B = 20*5 = 100

X*Y = 20*5 = 50/100 = .5/sq ft

To get price per yard
50*9/XY


Hope this helps!

Hi wawatan,

A simple technique may solve this problem more easily;

Carpet area = XYsqft

If the area XYsqft costs $50?
how much 9sqft costs ?

= (9/XY)*50 = 450/XY


If X ==> Y,
and A ==> B.

then B = (A/X)*Y
Cheers
