Answer: The fabrics that cost less than $8 per yard are cotton, flannel and fleece.

In order to determine the cost of a yard of each material, divide the total cost of 3/4 yards of that fabric by 3/4

cost of a yard = total cost ÷

Cost of a yard of cotton = 5.54 ÷ = 6.85

Cost of a yard of Flannel = 2.62 ÷ = 3.49

Cost per yard of Fleece = 4.27 ÷ = 5.69

Cost per yard of Terry Cloth = 6.52 ÷ = 8.69

Based on the above calculations, all but Terry cloth cost less than $8 per yard
