Question 149670: If edging cost $2.32 per 12-inch stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 6 yards by 1 yard. How much will edging you flower bed cost?
A. $32.48
B. $64.96
C. $97.44
D. $129.92
E. $194.88 correct answer
If the yard dimensions in feet are 3' x 18', then with the double hedging, I tried 5' x 20' x $2.32, and that's not the right logic.
Please help!

it seems like you may be forgetting the corners

the bed has two 18' sides and two 3' sides, plus a stone at each corner __ 46 stones

similarly with the second layer; 2*5+2*20+4 __ 54 stones

should be 100 stones total...

don't see a good answer...looks like everyone forgot the corners
