Multiply the cost per yard by the number of yards bought.

Change 3 1/2 to an improper fraction:

3 1/2 = 7/2

Now you have 7/2 x 5/8

Multiply the top numbers together and then the bottom numbers together:

(7 x 5) / (2 x 8) = 35/16

Now rewrite the improper fraction as a proper fraction:

2 3/16 which would be $2.19

Answer:

y=-0.215x^2+35

Step by Step:

Let, $h=0$ , $k=35$ , $x=8$ , $y=21$

We know that, the general equation of the parabola.

$y-k = a(x-h)^2$

$\Rightarrow y=a(x-h)^2+k .........(i)$

Substitute the value of $h, k, x, y$ in equation $(i)$ and find the value of $a.$

$21=a(8-0)^2+35$

$\Rightarrow 21=a\times 8^2+35$

$\Rightarrow 21=64a+35$

$\Rightarrow 64a=21-35$

$\Rightarrow 64a=-14$

$\Rightarrow a=\frac{-14}{65}$

$\Rightarrow a=-0.215$

Hence, the equation of the parabola is:

$y=-0.215x^2+35$
