Question

A 6-yard roll of butcher paper costs $16.38. How much does the butcher paper cost per foot?

Answer 1

0.91 dollars per foot.

Explanation:

Let's remember that 1 yard = 3 feet.

If the said roll of butcher paper is 6 yard long, then it is 18 feet long.

Now we solve with a rule of three and solve for x

18 feet ------------- 16.38

1 foot ------------------ x

x = 16.38/18 = 0.91

Therefore, the butcher paper cost $0.91 per foot
