I assume it's 16 2/3 cents per yard.
First you multiply:

Now, let's solve the second part of your question.
To calculate the cost of 276 yards at 16 2/3 cents per yard, you can multiply the number of yards by the cost per yard:
2. Convert the mixed fraction (16 2/3) into a decimal by recognizing that 2/3 is equivalent to 0.6667 (as calculated earlier). So, 16 2/3 = 16.6667 cents.
3. Multiply the number of yards (276) by the cost per yard (16.6667 cents):
276 yards × 16.6667 cents = 4,599.9922 cents.
