Question 998577: An artist is commissioned to paint a large painting on a wall. The wall is a rectangle and it measures 87 feet by 65 feet. The artist charges $68 per square yard.

The area of the wall is 87 x 65 = 5655 sq feet.
There are 9 sq feet in a sq yard, so let's divide this by 9 and round up...
5655 / 9 = 628.33 ==> 629 square yards
Multiply that by $68 per sq yard and get
629 x 68 = $42,772
