Answer:

(a) Locker A has the better deal

Explanation:

Given

$A = (\$28)/(yd^2)$ -- monthly

$B = (\$1.43)/(ft^2)$ --- weekly

$1\ month = 4\ weeks$

Required:

Determine which gives the better price

$B = (\$1.43)/(ft^2)$ --- weekly

Convert to monthly rate:

$B = (\$1.43*4)/(ft^2)$

$B = (\$5.72)/(ft^2)$ --- monthly

Convert ft^2 to yd^2

1ft^2 = 0.111yd^2

So, we have:

$B = (\$5.72)/(0.111yd^2)$

$B = (\$51.53)/(yd^2)$ --- monthly

By comparing:

$A = (\$28)/(yd^2)$

$B = (\$51.53)/(yd^2)$

Locker A has the better deal
