Question

If the price of upholstery fabric is $12.49 per yard, how much will 16 yards cost? A. $201.04 B. $199.94 C. $199.84 D. $189.84

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

16X12.49=199.84

Answer 2

For this case we can raise a rule of three:

$ 12.49 ---------------> 1 yard

x -------------------------> 16 yards

Where the variable "x" represents the cost of the 16 yards.

`x = \frac {16 * 12.49} {1}\\x = 199.84`

Thus, the cost of the 16 yards will be 199.84 dollars.

Option C
