Q. Bernie helped design a magician costume for a school play. He used 5.755.75 feet of ribbon for the magician's wand. He used 11.7511.75 feet of the same ribbon to decorate the magician's robe. If Bernie used $10.50\$10.50 of ribbon in all, how much did the ribbon cost per foot?\newline$\$____
  1. Calculate total ribbon used: Calculate the total amount of ribbon used by Bernie. 5.755.75 feet (wand) + 11.7511.75 feet (robe) = 17.517.5 feet
  2. Determine cost per foot: Determine the cost per foot of the ribbon.$10.50\$10.50 total cost ÷17.5\div 17.5 feet = $0.60\$0.60 per foot
