Question

Allie needs 65 centimeters of fabric for the pillow she is making. the fabric costs $4.20 for a meter and the stuffing for pillow costs 79cents. How much will it cost her to make this pillow?

Answer 1

The total cost of making the pillow is $3.52.

Explanation:

The amount of fabric Allie needs for the pillow she is making is,

X = 65 cm = 0.65 m.

The cost of fabric is:

c = $4.20 per meter.

Compute the cost of 0.65 meter fabric as follows:

C = X × c

= 0.65 × $4.20

= $2.73

The cost of 0.65 meter fabric is $2.73.

The cost of stuffing for pillow costs 79 ¢ or $0.79.

The total cost of making the pillow is:

Total cost = C + Cost of stuffing

= $2.73 + $0.79

= $3.52

Thus, the total cost of making the pillow is $3.52.
