Answer:

$28.80 I hope that helps if not I'm sorry if it's wrong

Explanation:

we write "dollars per cubic yard" as "dollars/yd^3" so that the units "yd^3" will cancel when multiplying by "1.2 yd^3", leaving an answer in units of dollars

24 dollars / yd^3 * 1.2 yd^3 = 28.80

the cost would be $28.80
