FIND LOT AREA:
Area = length * width
A= 18 feet * 45 feet
A= 810 feet squared

FIND # OF YARDS:
1 yard= 3 feet

Divide number of square feet by number of feet per yard.
Yards= 810 ÷ 3
Yards= 270

FIND PRICE OF SOD:
multiply number of yards by price per square yard.
Price= 270 yards * $12/yard
Price= $3,240

ANSWER: Cindy will pay $3,240 to cover the lot with sod.
