Answers
Scott
one inch equals 2.54 cm
a square yard is 36^2 square inches
a square meter is 100^2 square cm
$18.95 * 100^2 / (36 * 2.54)^2
a square yard is 36^2 square inches
a square meter is 100^2 square cm
$18.95 * 100^2 / (36 * 2.54)^2

1m = 1.0936 yd
1m^2 = 1.196 yd^2
so, the cost is
$18.95/yd^2 * 1.196yd^2/m^2 = $22.66/m^2
1m^2 = 1.196 yd^2
so, the cost is
$18.95/yd^2 * 1.196yd^2/m^2 = $22.66/m^2
