Does carpet width mean more Sq. feet?

I set up a measure with Lowes and they came to my house and did a complete measure. I told them at the store what carpet and pad but the guy who came to measure didn't know what carpet or pad I was getting and did a measurement based on 12ft width. They call me on the phone and ask what carpet and pad do I want so I can sign a contract for installation, so tell them the carpet model number, then the guy looks it up tells me its 756 sq feet and tells me the price.
I went to Lowes and looked at the detailed information and seen they put in 12ft width carpet and the carpet only comes in 15ft width. I point this out to them and they change everything and now the Sq. feet is 825 and more money. And the capet pad is only 699sq feet. Do they really need more carpet if it's wider or are they ripping me off?
