Suzanne needs material for her school project. She buys 5.50 yards of material at $3.87 a yard. What is the total cost of the material? Round to the nearest cent. Make sure you label your answer appropriately.
OwO is correct! What you need to do is multiply 5.50 and 3.87 which will be 21.285. When it says round to the nearest cent it means round to the tenths place. The tenths place is 2 and because 8 is over 4 the 2 will turn into a 3. The final answer will be $21.30! If I did a mistake, please say so!
The whole number is 21.285, if they mean rounding to the nearest whole number it would be 21.3.
I hope this will help you, I'm a little confused when they say the nearest cent sorry.
total cost = unit cost * no.units
That is, keeping track of the units,
$/yd * yd = $
See how the yd cancels, leaving just the $

If I told you a drink costs $2 and I want 3 drinks, would you have any trouble with that? Same idea here.
