Answer 1

To calculate the cost of the dog grass, you need to find the area of the outdoor playpen.

Let's assume the width of the playpen is 10 feet and the length is 12 feet.

The area of the playpen is therefore: 10 feet * 12 feet = 120 square feet.

Since the dog grass costs $1.70 per square foot, you will spend: $1.70/square foot * 120 square feet = $<<1.7*120=204>>204.

So the correct answer is $204.

Answer 2

To calculate the amount you will spend on dog grass, you will need to know the size of the playpen in square feet. Since the size of the playpen is not provided, it would be impossible to determine the exact cost. Please provide the dimensions of the playpen in order to calculate the total cost.
