Question

Mariyah bought 5 yards of fabric and a spool of thread for $22.75. If the spool of thread cost

$1.50, how much did the fabric cost per yard?

Answer 1

Step-by-step

$22.75-$1.50 to get the 5 yards cost

=$21.25

21.25 / 5 yards to get per yard cost

=$4.25 / yard

Answer 2

$4.25

Explanation:

Subtract the cost of the spool of thread from the total price:

22.75 - 1.50

= 21.25

Then, divide this by 5 to find the cost of fabric per yard:

= 4.25

So, the cost of the fabric per yard is $4.25
