How much will it cost to buy a low fence to put all the way around the bed? The fencing material costs $0.59 per foot and can only be bought in whole numbers of feet.

Respuesta :

To find the cost we first need to know how many feet of fence we need. To do this we add all the lengths of the sides:

[tex]6+6+8.5=20.5[/tex]

Now, since we can only buy whole numbers of feet we need to buy 21 feets of fence, then the total cost is:

[tex]21\cdot0.59=12.39[/tex]

Therefore the cost will be $12.39
