1 and 2/3 yards of material and 3/4 of a yard of ribbon. The material costs $2.99 per yard and the ribbon costs 59 cents per yard. What is the approximate cost for two costumes?
Answer provided by our tutors
We will assume that one costume is made out of 1 and 2/3 yards of material and 3/4 of a yard of ribbon.
1 2/3 = 5/3
59 cents = $0.59
2*((5/3)*2.99 + (3/4)*0.59) = $10.85
The approximate cost for two costumes is $10.85.
