Answer:

the solid color fleece is a better price

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Solid color fleece: S

Paterned fleece : P

Cost:

S=$1649 per 6 yards

P= $15.40 per 16 feet

To find which fleece is better price you need to find the price of each one per the same unit.

1. Turn the yards in feet (1 yd is equal to 3 feet )

[tex]6yd.\frac{3ft}{1yd} =18ft[/tex]

2. Find the price per 1 feet of each fleece:

Solid color fleece: $ 0.916 per 1 feet

[tex]S=\frac{16.49}{18ft} =\frac{0.916}{ft}[/tex]

Patterned fleece: $0.9625 per 1 feet

[tex]P=\frac{15.40}{16ft} =\frac{0.9625}{ft} \\[/tex]

Then, the solid color fleece is a better price
