A bakery is 11 yards wide and 19 yards long. The baker wants to put a wooden shelf around the inside of the bakery. The wooden shelving costs $18.00 per yard. How much will the baker's shelf cost?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the bakery is 2(11) + 2(19) = 60 yards. This is the total length of the wooden shelf needed.

To find the cost, we multiply the length of the shelf by the cost per yard:

60 yards x $18.00/yd = $1,080.00

So the wooden shelf will cost $1,080.00.
