Andy is carpeting a recreation room 18 ft long and 12 ft wide. If the carpeting costs $ 15/yd^2, what will be the total cost of the carpet?

so i know i do 18ft*12 and get 216ft^2 and after that i dont know what to do next.

You gotta simplify into yards first.
18ft=6 yd
12ft=4 yd
That makes 6*4=24 yd^2
$15*24=$360
