So what you need to do in order to answer this question, is to divide 2.5 yards from 12.5 yards. Once you get your quotient, multiply your quotient by 17.50 because that is how much a dog bed is and your answer should be.. 87 dollars and 50 cents

First, you need to divide 12.5/2.5= 5. After that, you need to multiply 17.50x5=87.50. So your answer is $87.50.
