First the cost of $98 /yd³ by the conversion factor that
1 yd³ = 27 ft³.
 ($98 /yd³) (1 yd³ / 27 ft³) = $ 3 17/27/ft³

Let x be the width, the volume of the rectangular portion of the driveway is,

 V = (8 ft) (1/3 ft) x = 8x/3 ft³

Using the given total cost of the protion,
 C = $58.07 = (8x/3 ft³)(<span>$ 3 17/27/ft³) 

x = 5.99957 ft
 the answer is  6 feet. (rounded)</span>
