Question

Suzanne needs material for her school project. She buys 3 1/4 yards of material at &2.50 a yard. What is the total cost of the material? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$8.13

Explanation:

Suzanne needs material for her school project and so, she buys 3¼ yards of material at a rate of $2.50 a yard.

To find the total cost of the material she bought, we will multiply the amount of yard she bought by the price of each yard. That is:

C = 3¼ * 2.50

C = 13/4 * 2.50

C = $8.125

Rounding up to the nearest cent, the total cost of the material. She bought for her school project is $8.13 or $8 and 13¢.
