To calculate the cost of the dog grass, you need to find the area of the outdoor playpen.

Let's assume the width of the playpen is 10 feet and the length is 12 feet.

The area of the playpen is therefore: 10 feet * 12 feet = 120 square feet.

Since the dog grass costs $1.70 per square foot, you will spend: $1.70/square foot * 120 square feet = $<<1.7*120=204>>204.

So the correct answer is $204.
