Question

A carpet sells for $27.99 a square yard. what is the price of the carpet per square meter?

Answer 1

Note that
1 yd = 0.9144 m
1 yd² = (0.9144 m)² = 0.8361 m²

The carpet sells for $27.99 per square yard.
Therefore the selling price is
$(27.99 \, \frac{\ }{yd^{2}} )*( \frac{1}{0.8361} \, \frac{yd^{2}}{m^{2}} ) = 33.48 \, \frac{\ }{m^{2}}$

Answer: $33.48 per square meter.
