Question 1029094: Allie needs 65 centimeters of fabric for the pillow she is making. The fabric costs $4.20 a meter and the stuffing for the pillow costs $0.79. How much will it cost her to make the pillow?
I think the fabric costs $6.46 and the stuffing costs $1.22. Total would be $7.68.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
She only needs 1 stuffing for the pillow
1 stuffing = +.79+
+4.2+ / m = +.042+ / cm
+65%2A.042+=+2.73+
+2.73+%2B+.79+=+3.53+
$3.53 total cost
( how did you get the $1.22 ? )
