Flooring for a 28-foot by 12-foot room is priced at $8.10 per square foot, and the takeoff carries 7 percent waste. What material cost should be estimated?
Correct Answer
C) $2,912.11.
Area = 28 × 12 = 336 square feet. Including 7% waste gives 336 × 1.07 = 359.52 square feet. Material cost = 359.52 × $8.10 = $2,912.112, rounded to $2,912.11. The $2,721.60 choice omits waste. Neither remaining amount follows the stated inputs; no unsupported calculation is assigned to those distractors.
