The label on a ceiling lighting fixture warns you to use a lightbulb of 60 watts or less. the voltage to the

lightbulb is 120 volts. an intern calculated how much amperage a bulb of the maximum allowed wattage

will draw. you are checking her work, shown below. if there is an error, what is the first step that has an

error, and why is it an error?

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
