Vicki wants to make a stuffed animal that would cost $35 if she bought
it. She will need 2 1/2 yards of fabric at $4.39 per yard, and stuffing
material at $3. How much will she save by making the stuffed animal?
a. $13.98
b. $10.98
c. $21.02
d. $48.98
First, find the cost of the fabric:
2.5 yards x $4.39/yard = $10.98
Then add the cost of the stuffing:
$10.98 + $3 = $13.98
To find how much Vicki will save, subtract the cost of making the stuffed animal from the cost of buying it:
$35 - $13.98 = $21.02
Therefore, Vicki will save $21.02 by making the stuffed animal. The answer is c. $21.02.
