Please help thank you!!

$3.22 per square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, I usually set up an equation:

sq ft  = 12 1/2 = 1

 $        40.21     x

Then, use cross multiplication.

(12 1/2)x=40.21

Divide both sides by 12 1/2 or 12.5

x = 3.2168

Round to the hundredths place [because we're dealing with money]

$3.22

I hope this helps!
