Purchased 297 square feet of carpet at $18.50 a square yard, what is the cost?

297 / 9 = 33 yards X $18.50 =$610.50
Do I divide by 3 again to get $203.50?

1 answer

no, why would you divide by 3?

you correctly converted the square feet to square yards by dividing by 9, and your cost was in square yards.

your cost is $610.50
