Question

During a carpet sale, a carpet company sold $6,792 worth of carpet. If they sold 849 square yards of carpet, what was the average price per square yard?

Answer 1

The average price per square yard is $8.00

Explanation:

From the question

849 yd² = $6,796

1 yd² = x

Cross Multiply

849 yd² × x = 1 yd² × $6,796

x = 1 yd² × $6,796/849yd²

x = $8.0047114252

Approximately = $8.00

Therefore, the average price per square yard is $8.00
