To solve for the cost of fabric, let x be the number of yards of fabric.
Since kenji brought 3 yards of fabric for $7.47, we can equate it as;
3x = 7.47
Find the value of x
3x = 7.47
3x/3 = 7.47/3
x = 2.49
This means each yard of fabric costs $2.49.
Now, to find how much 2 yards of fabric costs, multiply x by 2 to get the cost of 2yards of fabric.
Since x= 2.49, you can express it as 2x or 2(x).
2(x)
= 2(2.49)
= 4.98
The cost of 2 yards of fabric is $4.98.
