Question

Megan purchased 5 square yards of flooring for a total of $270. What was the price of this flooring per square foot?

Answer 1

$18 per square foot.

Explanation:

First there are 3 feet in a yard. So if she purchased 5 square yards there would be 3 times as many square feet soo.

5*3= 15

So there were 15 square feet in the 5 square yards.

Now just divide 270/15 = 18

$18 per square foot.

Hope this helpsss!
