Solution

First, you need to calculate the area of the floor. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the floor is 5 m by 8 m, so the area is 5 m * 8 m = 40 square meters.

Next, you need to multiply the area of the floor by the cost per square meter of the vinyl flooring. The flooring costs 30.00persquaremeter,sothetotalcostwouldbe40squaremeters30.00 per square meter, so the total cost would be 40 square meters * 30.00/square meter = $1200.00.

So, you would need to spend $1200.00 to cover the floor.
