Question

Marcus is building a fort. He needs 5 pieces of plywood each with an area of 56.25 square feet for each. If the plywood costs $1.79 per square foot, how much money will Marcus need to build his fort.

Answer 1

Simple answer (not exactly sure what unit your in)
56.25 X 5 = 281.25
281.25 X 1.79 = 503.4375
For 5 pieces of plywood it would equal a total of 281.25 square feet, and it would cost 503.43$
