A college student is considering a subscription to a social networking Internet site that advertises its cost as "only 87 cents per day." What is the cost of membership in dollars per year?
-----------
87(cents/day)*(365/1)(days/year)*(1/100)(dollars/cent)
-----------
= (87*365*1)/(1*1*100)(dollars/year)
-----------
= 317.77 dollars/year
