The students will then rank the flooring and choose the best one for the makeover. The data provided is: a model of the treehouse (in square yards), flooring price per square yard, and ratings for ease of cleaning and comfort. In the twist, student will be provided with an installation fee for each flooring material and must decide how to change their procedure with the new information.
