Around swimming pool has a circumference of 54 ft. carrie wants to buy a rope to put across the diameter of the pool. the rope cost $0.85 per foot, and carrie need 3 feet more then the diameter of the pool. how much will carrie pay for the rope?

Hey there!

If the diameter of the pool is 54 feet, then you add 3 since Carrie needs 3 feet more than the diameter.

54 + 3 = 57

Last, you multiply the number of feet needed for the rope times the cost per foot of the rope:

57 x 0.85 = 45.9 <

Carrie will pay $45.9 for the rope.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
