The garage roof face worksheet shows that the roofing material order starts from a 34.25-square estimate and adds 8 percent waste. How many total squares should be planned?

Correct Answer

B) 36.99 squares.

Waste allowance = 34.25 × 0.08 = 2.74 squares. Total = 34.25 + 2.74 = 36.99 squares. The 35.62 choice corresponds to only 4% waste. The remaining choices do not follow the specified 8%. No separate package-rounding increment is supplied.
