Answer:

$2.48

Explanation:

There are 3 feet in a yard.

3 times 3 is 9.

Now we know that 9 feet of cloth costs $22.30.

In order to find the unit rate, we divide.

22.30 divided by 9 is 2.477777(repeating)

When using money, we only go up to 2 decimal places, so we need to round.

This gives us $2.48!
