Question 193176: I am a mess when it comes to word problems, well math in general.. Would someone please help. This is on a handout, not in our text.
Sam wishes to fertilize his lawn that is 16 yards by 70 yards. The organic fertilizer costs $5.75 per bag. Each bag covers 525 square feet. What is the cost to fertilize his yard?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(16*70*9/525)*5.75=10,080/525*5.75=19.2*5.75=$110.40 is the cost of the fertilizer.
Note: the 9 converts square yards to square ft.
