Solution

To find out how much the wallpaper will cost for the wall, we need to follow these steps:

  1. First, we need to find the area of the wall. The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. So, the area of the wall is 13 feet * 12 feet = 156 square feet.

  2. Next, we need to find out how much the wallpaper will cost for this area. The cost of the wallpaper is 8persquarefoot.So,thetotalcostofthewallpaperwillbe156squarefeet8 per square foot. So, the total cost of the wallpaper will be 156 square feet * 8/square foot = $1248.

So, the wallpaper for the wall will cost $1248.
