You read online that a 12 ft by 16 ft tarp would cost about $3,917
If size is the only factor used to determine the cost, what would you estimate the cost of purchasing a 12 ft by 25 ft tarp?
Since you are estimating, round to the dollar

To estimate the cost of a 12 ft by 25 ft tarp based on the given price for a 12 ft by 16 ft tarp, we can use the concept of proportionality since size (area) is the only factor determining the cost.

1. **Calculate the area of the 12 ft by 16 ft tarp**:
   \[
   \text{Area}_{1} = 12 \
