Question

If they sold 800 square yards of carpet, what was the average price per square yard?
A.
$800
B.
$2
C.
$4
D.
$1

Answer 1

To find the average price per square yard of the carpet, you can divide the total sales amount by the total number of square yards sold.

The total sales amount is $1,600, and the total square yards sold is 800.

Average price per square yard = Total sales / Total square yards Average price per square yard = $1,600 / 800 = $2

Thus, the average price per square yard is $2.

So the correct answer is B. $2.
