  1. Determine Feet in Yards: First, we need to determine how many feet are in 33 yards, since the cost is given for 33 yards and we want to find the price per foot.\newlineThere are 33 feet in 11 yard, so in 33 yards there would be:\newline3 yards×3 feet/yard=9 feet3 \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 9 \text{ feet}
  2. Calculate Price per Foot: Now that we know there are 99 feet in 33 yards, we can calculate the price per foot by dividing the total cost by the number of feet.\newlinePrice per foot =Total costNumber of feet= \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of feet}}\newlinePrice per foot =$1.629 feet= \frac{\$1.62}{9 \text{ feet}}
