Carpet Fitting
There are three costs incurred when someone has a carpet fitted
These costs are:
 The cost of the carpet and the underlay
 The cost of the gripper which holds the carpet to the floor
 The cost of fitting the carpet
The cost of a carpet can vary from £5 per square metre to £50 per square metre.
The cost of the gripper can vary from 60p per metre to 90p per metre.
The cost of fitting the carpet can vary from £2.30 per square metre to £3.20 per
square metre.
Carpet is often produced in rolls which carry up to 30 metres of carpet.
The rolls usually come in standard widths of 3m or 4m
Customers pay for any excess carpet that is not used.
Choose rooms of different sizes and investigate the possible cost of fitting
a carpet in each of these rooms.
You are advised to choose appropriate room sizes and generalise your results.
