Question 984996: The cost Of growing grass is 8 cents per square foot. How much would it cost to grow grass on a rectangular lot tha measures 85 feet by 25 feet?
I tried getting the area first than dividing the answer by 8 cents per square foot? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! And what did you get?
Why do you think you should divide?
Cost in cents = (sq ft)*(cents/sq ft)
Notice the sq ft cancel when you multiply.
===============
Cost in cents = (sq ft)/(cents/sq ft) --> (sq ft)^2/cents

Include the units so you know you're doing the right operation.
