At long last, Olive is done with her floor plan…[Olive eating cheez-it's]

00:17

At least…we really hope she is.

00:19

We had no idea this would take so long, and to be honest, we're pretty sick of Olive.

00:23

Today, she has to focus on how much it’s going to cost to get her office furniture [Olive making a note of the cost of her furniture delivery]

00:28

delivered.

00:29

She starts by looking over her final floor plan and listing all the pieces of furniture

00:33

that made the cut.

00:34

Then, she adds in the length, width, and height of each piece of furniture, using information [Olive adding the length, width and height of each individual piece of furniture]

00:38

from her completed Furniture Frenzy Worksheet

00:41

Yep, she has one of those too.

00:43

She realizes delivery guys aren't super into fractions.

00:47

So she'll have to round each dimension up to the nearest whole number…

00:50

00:55

cost of delivering the furniture.

00:57

The cost is determined by multiplying the total volume of the furniture by $1.25 per foot

01:02

The boring, moderately-sized couch that she was eventually forced to buy for her waiting

01:06

room is 35 cubic feet.

01:09

So she multiplies $1.25 times 35 to get $43.75. [Olive making calculations on a piece of paper]

01:12

That’s how much it will cost to move that piece.

01:16

Whoa, when she sees how much this costs, she’s glad she finally went with the couch that’s [Olive falling off of her chair]

01:20

boringly small.

01:21

Olive keeps going and multiplies the volumes of every piece of furniture by $1.25.

01:26

And then she adds them all together….

01:28

And then she looks at the total amount she’ll have to pay the movers….

01:31

And then she thinks about calling her Grandma to borrow the cash…[Olive thinking about calling her Grandma to borrow cash for the furniture delivery]

01:34

Of course, then her Grandma would force her to come over and eat those weird oatmeal squares

01:39

she makes…and nothing is worth that.
