Kengi buys 3 yds of fabric for $7.47 then he realizes that he needs 2 more yds. How much will the extra fabric cost?

The extra fabric will cost him $4.98

I got this by dividing $7.47 by 3 which is $2.49 ($2.49 is the unit price) then I just multiplied that by 2 which is $4.98

Hope this helps

7.47/3 = 2.49. 2.49 is the base cost per yard. 2.49*2 is 4.98. The extra fabric will cost him $4.98

Also pro tip always put the unit of measurement in when describing, whether it'd be a dollar sign or other thing.
