Question

Ally needs 65 cm of fabric for the pillows she is making. The fabric cost $4.20 for meter and the stuffing for the pillow cost $.79. How much will it cost to make the pillow?

Answer 1

Answer: $3.52

Work Shown:

65 cm = (65 cm)*(1 m/100 cm) = 0.65 m

Fabric costs $4.20 per meter, she needs 0.65 meters of fabric, so 4.20*0.65 = 2.73 dollars is the cost for just the fabric.

Add on $0.79 for the stuffing and we get 2.73+0.79 = 3.52
