Lou has a backyard that is 20 ft by 15 ft. If he wants to use grass seed to grow grass, and seed cost .79 a square foot, how much will it cost him to seed the entire backyard?

HINT:FIND THE AREA OF THE BACKYARD FIRST

It will cost him $237 to seed the entire backyard

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the area of the rectangular backyard:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Replacing with the values given:

A = 20 x 15 = 300 ft2

Since seed cost 0.79 per square foot, we simply have to multiply that price by the area:

0.79 x 300 = $237

It will cost him $237 to seed the entire backyard

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
