Question

A bakery is 10 yards wide and 17 yards long. The baker wants to put a wooden shelf around the inside of the bakery. The wooden shelving costs $10.82 per yard. How much will the baker's shelf cost?

Answer 1

$584.28

Explanation:

first, add up the yards around the perimeter of the bakery. 10 + 10 + 17 + 17 = 54. Then, multiply 54 by 10.82 to get the cost of the shelf.

54 x 10.82 = 584.28
