A 3-yard piece of twine costs $16.02. What is the price per foot?

To find the price per foot, we need to convert the 3 yards into feet first, and then divide the total cost by the total number of feet.

Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet:
\[
3 \, \text{yards} \times 3 \, \text{feet/yard} = 9 \, \text{feet}
\]

Now, divide the total cost by the total number of feet:
\[
\frac{16.02}{9} \approx 1.78
\]

Thus, the price per foot is approximately **$1.78**.
