conversations.value: The room measures 18 * 12 = 216 square feet.
  The new carpet costs $12 * 216 = $2,592.
  The new carpet padding costs $2 * 216 = $432.
  To remove the old carpet, the contractor will charge $4 * 216 = $864.
  To install the new carpet, the contractor will charge $34 * 216 = $7,344.
  The total cost will be $864 + $2,592 + $432 + $7,344 = $11,232.
