To find the price per foot of the plastic wrap, first convert the length from yards to feet.
1 yard = 3 feet, so a 3-yard roll is: \[ 3 \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 9 \text{ feet} \]
Next, we know the total cost of the roll is $1.53. To find the price per foot, divide the total cost by the total length in feet: \[ \text{Price per foot} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total length in feet}} \] \[ \text{Price per foot} = \frac{1.53}{9} \] \[ \text{Price per foot} \approx 0.17 \]
Thus, the price per foot is approximately $0.17.
