A 2-yard piece of ribbon costs $5.22. What is the price per foot?

To find the price per foot, first convert yards to feet, then divide the cost by the number of feet.

1 yard = 3 feet, so:

\[
2 \text{ yards} = 2 \times 3 = 6 \text{ feet}
\]

Now, divide the total cost by the total number of feet:

\[
\text{Price per foot} = \frac{5.22}{6} = 0.87
\]

So, the price per foot is **$0.87**.
