Question

You need to rent meeting space in a downtown co-working center that charges $25/hour per room. If you want the largest room for your money, which room is a better deal? The Hub Room, measuring 9 feet by 11 feet, or the Huddle Room, measuring 8 feet by 12 feet, and by how much?

Answer 1

Since they are looking for the largest room for the same amount of money you want to find the area of both rooms. The Hub room is 9 feet by 11 feet which is 9 x 11 = 99 square feet. The Huddle room is 8 feet by 12 feet which is 8 x 12 = 96 square feet. The Hub room is larger than the Huddle room by 3 square feet.

Answer 2

The Hub Room gives you (9*11)= 99 sq ft which is ($25/99sq ft = $0.25 per sq ft)

The Huddle Room gives you (8*12) = 96 sq ft which is ($25/96sq ft = $0.26 per sq ft)

You get a better deal with the Hub room because you're paying less per square foot, thus getting more sq ft of room for $25. It's a better deal by $0.01
