@smileyxl3 , you said 100 but thats not one of the choices -_-

Sorry! (10' x 12' )/(1' x 1') x 50 cent = 6000 cent = $ 60.00

@cupcakestoner Basically, it's 120 (which is the square area) × 50 (which is the cents) = 6000 cents = $ 60

I said 100 the first time because I did 10*20 instead of 10*12. I have no idea why I did that.
