Question

Molly bought 12.5 yards to make dog beds. She uses 2.5 yards of fabric for each dog bed. She sells each dog bed for 17.50. After subtracting the fabric how much money does molly earn if she sells all of the dog beds

Answer 1

So what you need to do in order to answer this question, is to divide 2.5 yards from 12.5 yards. Once you get your quotient, multiply your quotient by 17.50 because that is how much a dog bed is and your answer should be.. 87 dollars and 50 cents

Answer 2

First, you need to divide 12.5/2.5= 5. After that, you need to multiply 17.50x5=87.50. So your answer is $87.50.
