No prob.
My bedroom is 14x13 and it has two closets that are about 20sqft each. I bought 14 boxes of Pergo at Lowes(only needed 13, but am keeping one "just in case") at about $53.00 per box.

Now, I have hardwood floors in my whole house except for the three bedrooms. When I ripped up the carpet, there was just plywood. When I put the sample Pergo down by the doorway it was a 1/4 inch shorter than my hallway floor. In order to do the Pergo, the floors need to be level. So we went to the store to buy the 1/4 inch thick plywood that needed to be screwed to the floor before putting down the Pergo. Now the floors are level.
Plywood was about $200, so I spent a total of about $1000. Now, that doesn't include installation b/c my friends did it for me. But installation is between $800-$1000.
Here are some more pics of the process.
First pic, Dad helped me pull up the rug. See the plywood underneath? Miss Thing had to get in the way. Probably wondering what I was doing with all her pee pee! LOL
