Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:Tisha orders a carpet for a room that measures 270 square feet.

This means the room needs 270 square feet of carpet

But from the question, we know that the carpet is sold in square yards

We convert square feet to square yards

For our conversion rates

3 ft = 1 yard

9 ft² = 1 square yards(yd²)

270 ft² = x

Cross Multiply

9 ft² × x = 270ft² × 1 yd²

x yd²= 270ft² × 1 yd²/9 ft²

x = 30 yd²

Hence, 270ft² = 30yd²

Cost of carpet =

1 yd² = $12.00

30 yd² =

Cross Multiply

= 30 × $12.00

= $360.00

The actual cost of the carpet is $360
