Answer:

$19

Explanation:

First you need to make a equation out of given information and this will be easiest to solve as an equation.

3.5 $66.50

1 x

-----------------------

3.5:1=66.50:x

3.5x=66.50/:3.5

x=19

On the right side you put one information(in this case number of yards) and on the left other information(cost) and you make proportion from up to down and solve for x.
