A rectangular-shaped carpet that measures x feet by y feet is priced at $22. What is the cost of the carpet, in dollars per square yard? (1 square yard = 8 square feet)
Choose the correct option:
A) xy/297  B) 11xy/3  C) 176/(xy)  D) 297/(xy)  E) 297xy
The area of the carpet in feet is xy.   The area in square yards is xy / 8.   The price per square yard is 22/ (xy/8) = 176/(xy).   The answer is 176/(xy).
