1 yard = 3 feet.
First calculate the area of the floor.
a=12*20
a=240 square feet
Convert the square feet into yards.
240/3= 80 square yards.
Calculate the cost.
$8.91 * 80 square yards = $712.80
It will cost: $712.80

To convert "square" feet to "square" yards you divide square feet by 9 (3 squared), right? Then the answer is $237.60.
