IMO E.
This is a conversion problem and the conversion factor is given - 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.
length of carpet = y yards = 3y feet.
width = f feet.
area = length * wight = 3yf square feet.
rate of carpet = x cents per square feet.
cost ( in cents ) = 3xyf this is the trap option! We are asked cost in dollars not cents... so we need to apply the implicit conversion of 100 cents a dollar
cost ( in dollars ) = 3xyf / 100 or 0.03xyf.
Hence Option E.
Best,
Gladi
