The lawn is rectangular shaped with a length of 10 yards and a width of 40 yards. A bag of grass seeds covers 50 square yards at a cost of $ 4.99 per bag. What is the total area of the new lawn? How many bags of grass seeds will they need to buy? What is the total cost to renovate the front lawn with the new grass?

To find the total area of the new lawn, you need to multiply the length by the width. We are given that the length of the lawn is 10 yards and the width is 40 yards.
Area of a rectangle = length × width
So, the area of the new lawn is:
Area = 10 yards × 40 yards = 400 square yards
Therefore, the total area of the new lawn is 400 square yards.
To find out how many bags of grass seeds are needed, you divide the total area of the new lawn by the area covered by one bag of grass seeds. We are given that one bag of grass seeds covers 50 square yards.
Number of bags = Total area ÷ Area covered by one bag
Number of bags = 400 square yards ÷ 50 square yards = 8 bags
So, they will need to buy 8 bags of grass seeds.
To calculate the total cost to renovate the front lawn with the new grass, you multiply the number of bags of grass seeds by the cost per bag. We are given that the cost per bag is $4.99.
Total cost = Number of bags × Cost per bag
Total cost = 8 bags × $4.99/bag = $39.92
Therefore, the total cost to renovate the front lawn with the new grass is $39.92.
