Question

A carpet sells for $27.99 a square yard. what is the price of the carpet per square meter?

Answer 1

Note that
1 yd = 0.9144 m
1 yd² = (0.9144 m)² = 0.8361 m²

The carpet sells for $27.99 per square yard.
Therefore the selling price is

`(27.99 \, (\$)/(yd^(2)) )*( (1)/(0.8361) \, (yd^(2))/(m^(2)) ) = 33.48 \, (\$)/(m^(2))`

Answer: $33.48 per square meter.
