Question 752176
need to change the measurements to the same units
1 yard is indeed 3 foot
so 1 squre yard is the same as 3 square feet which is 3*3
which is 9 foot squared.  this cost $18 to lay at the fisrt shop.
each squre foot costs $3 to lay in second shop, so they wouls charge $3 * 9 to lay one squre yard, $27.  so they are more expensive, and certainly not half price!
