A hardware store sells nylon rope for $0.89/yd. A lumber yard sells the same rope for $0.94/m. a) Which store sells the rope for a lower price? Explain your answer. b) How much money would Jim save if he purchased 650 ft. of the less expensive rope, before taxes?​

Answer 1

Since $0.973/m is greater than $0.94/m, the lumber yard sells the rope for a lower price

So Jim would save $6.19 if he purchased 650 ft of the less expensive rope before taxes.

Answer 2

Hmm.. not quite sure why you multiplied A with 10 yds. I am going to assume M=meters.

A.) You can convert to whatever units you like, but I am going to convert into meters.

0.89/yd * 0.9144yd/m = $0.97 > $0.94.. So.. A Lumber yard is selling the same rope for less expensive.

B.) You convert feet until you get to the correct units. like this....

550 ft * 1yd/3ft * .9144m/yd * $.97/m = $162.62

550 ft * 1yd/3ft * .9144m/yd * $.94/m = $157.58

taking the difference would be $5.03.

I believe for answer A, you forgot to convert...or converted differently. Hope this helps.
