Let's calculate the cost of carpeting for the three bedrooms based on the given floor plan dimensions:

1. **First bedroom (First Floor)**: 11' × 15'
   - Area = $ 11 \times 15 = 165 $ square feet.

2. **Second bedroom (Second Floor)**: 11' × 15'
   - Area = $ 11 \times 15 = 165 $ square feet.

3. **Third bedroom (Second Floor)**: 12' × 21'
   - Area = $ 12 \times 21 = 252 $ square feet.

Now, we sum the areas of all three bedrooms:
\[
\text{Total Area} = 165 + 165 + 252 = 582 \text{ square feet}
\]

The cost of carpeting is $7.99 per square foot, so the total cost is:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 582 \times 7.99 = 4651.18
\]

Thus, the total cost for installing carpet in all three bedrooms is **$4651.18**.

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are some related questions to consider:

1. How would the cost change if the price per square foot increased by 10%?
2. What would be the total cost if one of the bedrooms was a different size?
3. How would the cost differ if only two bedrooms were carpeted?
4. What is the total area of the entire house based on the floor plan?
5. How much carpet would be required if we added a 10% allowance for wastage?

**Tip:** Always double-check measurements and units when calculating areas for home improvement projects!
