Carolyn is building a pen for her dog. The perimeter of the pen is 52ft... The fencing material is sold by the yard. It costs 10.99/yd. what is the total cost before taxes?

Answer 1

1 yd = 3ft
52 ft = 17 +1/3 yards
she must by 18 yards as the only sell by yard, not feet.
18 x 10.99
197.82

Answer 2

The total cost before taxes is 190.49

What is perimeter?

Sum of all the sides of a figure bounding it is called perimeter.

How to find the total cost?

According to the problem,

• The perimeter of the pen is 52ft
• It costs 10.99/yd.

We know ,  1 ft= 1/3 yards

∴  52 ft = (52 x 1/3) yards = 17.33 yards

• Now, for fencing 1 yard, it costs 10.99.

For fencing 17.16 yards , it costs ( 17.33 x 10.99) = 190.49

The total cost is 190.49.
