To calculate the total cost of the carpet for an area of 62.5 square meters, we first need to find the cost of the carpet per square meter. Given that the price of the carpet is $8.95 per square meter, we can multiply this by the area of the carpet to get the total cost of the carpet before taxes and labor.
So, 62.5 square meters x $8.95 per square meter = $559.37.
Next, we need to add the cost of labor. Given that the work will take 4 hours at a rate of $25.60 per hour, we can multiply the two values to get the total cost of labor.
So, 4 hours x $25.60 per hour = $102.40.
Now, we can add the cost of the carpet and labor together to get the total cost before taxes.
So, $559.37 + $102.40 = $661.77.
Finally, we need to add the GST of 15%. To do this, we can multiply the total cost before taxes by 0.15 and then add this value to the total cost.
So, $661.77 x 0.15 = $99.26.
$661.77 + $99.26 = $761.03.
Therefore, the total cost of the carpet with a GST of 15%, labor of 4 hours at $25.60 per hour, and a price of $8.95 per square meter for an area of 62.5 square meters is $761.03.
