Question

Reginald has to put fertilizer on his yard. The bags of fertilizer cost $4.79 and cover 3500 square feet. Reginald's yard is a rectangle that measures 427 ft by 231 ft. How much will he spend on fertilizer?​

Answer 1

He'll spend 138.91 dollars.

First multiply 427 and 231 to find out how much square feet you need to cover. Then divide the number by 3500 to see how many bags of fertilizer you need. Since there is a remainder, he'll have to buy another bag. Then, multiply the number of bags needed with the price of each bag to get the amount of money spent.
