It will cost $8,000 to wood-floor the floor

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of money it will take for wood flooring a floor.

What we do to solve this is to first calculate the area of the floor. Then afterwards cost the amount it will take to floor the wooden floor.

Now to calculate the area of the floor, we will need to be conversant with the shape of the floor. The shape here is rectangle. The formula of the area of a rectangular shaped object is L * B. The area of the floor is thus; 50 * 20 = 1000 sq. Ft

Now, let's do the costing. According to the question, it costs 8 folly for each square foot. The total amount incurred is thus 1000 sq. ft * $8/sq. ft = $8,000
