A new concrete floor will be 15 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 6 inches thick. Concrete is measured by the cubic yard. One sack of dry cement mix costs $6.80, and it takes three sacks to mix up 1 cubic yard of concrete. How much will it cost to buy the cement?

The volume to be filled is ft3
A cubic yard is ft3
ft3 x yd3 / ft3 = yd3
3 sacks = 1 yd3
