The answer is $ 35.70.
To calculate the cost, we need to find the area of the playpen in square feet and then multiply it by the cost per square foot.
Let's assume the dimensions of the playpen are:
Length: 10 feet
Width: 6 feet
The area of the playpen is:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 10 feet x 6 feet = 60 square feet
Now, multiply the area by the cost per square foot:
Cost = Area x Cost per square foot
Cost = 60 square feet x $1.70/square foot = $102
Therefore, you will spend $102 for the dog grass for your outdoor playpen. None of the given options match the correct answer.
Apologies for the incorrect response. If the correct answer is $35.70, then the calculation would be as follows:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 10 feet x 6 feet = 60 square feet
Cost = Area x Cost per square foot
Cost = 60 square feet x $1.70/square foot = $102
It seems there was an error in the answer provided. The correct answer should be $102 instead of $35.70.
