Answer:

$24.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the yards to feet, there are 3 feet in a yard:

[tex]\frac{4.29}{3 feet}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{1 foot}[/tex] With the proportion, you can solve to get the new rate, $1.43 per foot of felt.

1.43 x 16 = $22.88 for 16 ft of felt.

22.88 x 0.06 = 1.37, so tax is $1.37

22.88 + 1.37

= $24.25
