Answer 1

Answer:the total cost of the collar is $5.11

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a collar for her dog, she needs to buy some chain,a clasp, and a name tag.

The length of the chain that she wants to buy is 40 centimeters.

1000 centimeters = 1 meter

40 centimeters = 40/1000 = 0.04 meters.

One meter of chain costs $9.75. Therefore, 0.04 meters of chain would cost

0.04 × 9.75 = $0.39

The clasp is $1.29 and the name tag is $3.43. Therefore, the total cost of the collar would be

0.39 + 1.29 + 3.43 = $5.11
