    The cost of carpeting is $1250 ⇒ answer B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    * Lets explain how to solve the problem

    - Alex wants wall-to-wall carpeting in his office

    - The measures of it is 25 feet by 18 feet

    - The cost of the carpet is $25 per square yard

    * At first lets change the measures of carpeting from feet to yard

    ∵ 1 yard = 3 feet ⇒ divide both sides by 3

    ∴ 1 foot = 1/3 yard

    ∵ The dimensions of carpeting are 25 feet and 18 feet

    ∴ 25 * 1/3 = 25/3 yards

    ∴ 18 * 1/3 = 6 yards

    ∴ The dimensions of carpeting are 25/3 yards and 6 yards

    * Lets find the area of carpeting to calculate its cost

    ∵ The Area carpeting is the product of the dimensions

    ∴ Area = 25/3 * 6 = 50 yard²

    ∵ The cost of 1 square yard of carpeting is $25

    ∴ The cost of the carpet = 50 * 25 = 1250

    * The cost of carpeting is $1250
