Question

a bakery is 11 yards wide and 14 yards long. the baker wants to put a wooden shelf around the inside of the bakery. the wooden shelving costs $22.00 per yard. how much will the bakers shelf cost?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter of the bakery

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is \(P = 2\times(l + w)\), where \(l\) is the length and \(w\) is the width. Given \(l = 14\) yards and \(w=11\) yards.

Step2: Calculate the cost of the shelf

The cost per yard is \(\$22\). Multiply the perimeter (length of the shelf) by the cost per yard. Let \(C\) be the total cost. Then \(C=22\times P\). Substitute \(P = 50\) into the formula.

Answer:

The baker's shelf will cost \(\$1100\).
