Answer 1

The total cost of the white fleece fabric is $19.96. The cost of the orange fleece fabric is $2.50. The total cost for all of the items Jill has to buy for the costume is $27.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: To find the total cost of the white fleece fabric, we need to multiply the price per yard ($4.99) by the total number of yards needed (4).

• 4 yards x $4.99/yard = $19.96

So, the total cost of the white fleece fabric is $19.96.

Part B: To find the cost of the orange fleece fabric, we need to multiply the price per yard ($4.99) by the total number of yards needed (1/2).

• 1/2 yard x $4.99/yard = $2.50

So, the cost of the orange fleece fabric is $2.50.

Part C: To find the total cost for all items, we need to add the costs of the white fleece fabric, black buttons, and orange fleece fabric.

• Total cost of white fleece fabric = $19.96
• Total cost of black buttons = $4.99
• Total cost of orange fleece fabric = $2.50

Total cost = $19.96 + $4.99 + $2.50 = $27.45

Therefore, the total cost for all of the items Jill has to buy for the costume is $27.45.
