Question

Tony wants to make a dog bed for his dog. He has a Golden Retriever and wants to make sure the bed is big enough so his dog can stretch out. He buys 8 yards of fabric for the bed. The fabric he chooses costs $6.99 per yard. He also needs to buy a filling for the bed. He buys 3 bags of polyester filling, which are $7.99 a bag. How much will Tony pay for the materials for the dog bed?

A. $23.97
B. $55.92
C.$38.87
D.$79.89

Answer 1

D.$79.89

Explanation:

Cost of one yard of fabric = $6.99

Length of fabric bought = 8 yards

Cost of one bag of polyester filling = $7.99

Number of bags of polyester filling bought = 3

Total cost of fabric =
`6.99* 8=\$55.92`

Total cost of polyester filling =
`7.99* 3=\$23.97`

Total cost of materials bought = Total cost of fabric + Total cost of polyester filling

`=55.92+23.97=\$79.89`

Total cost of materials bought is
`\$79.89`.
