Calculations:

v  Total wall length x wall height = total square footage

o   Reception Room: 45 x 7.8 = 351 sq. ft.

o   Conference Room: 30 x 7.8 = 234 sq. ft.

o   Office: 15 x 7.8 = 117 sq. ft.

o   Break Room: 10 x 7.8 = 78 sq. ft.

o   TOTAL = 780 sq. ft.

v  The cost per square foot is $1.84, so multiply that by the total and find the overall cost.

o   780 x 1.84 = $1,435.20

v  If you’re interested, take the total square footage and multiply by 4.8, which is the number of king size bricks that fit into a square foot, to find the number of bricks that you’re getting.

o   780 x 4.8 = 3,744 bricks
