To find the price per yard for an 18-foot piece of rope that costs $115.56, we first need to convert feet to yards since there are 3 feet in a yard.

  1. Convert 18 feet to yards: \[ 18 \text{ feet} \div 3 = 6 \text{ yards} \]

  2. Now, we need to calculate the price per yard. We do this by dividing the total cost by the number of yards: \[ \text{Price per yard} = \frac{115.56}{6} \]

  3. Performing the calculation: \[ \text{Price per yard} = 19.26 \]

Thus, the price per yard of the rope is: \[ \boxed{19.26} \]
