What is percentage?

Suppose there is a number and the number has to be expressed as a fraction of 100. The fraction is called percentage.

For example- 2% means $\frac{2}{100}$

Here,

Cost of fencing 1 foot = $5.45

10% of 1 foot = $\frac{10}{100}\times 1$

                     = 0.1 foot

1 foot + 10% of 1 foot = 1 + 0.1 = 1.1 feet

cost of fencing 1.1 foot = $5.45 $\times$ 1.1 = $5.995

Cost of sodding 1 sq foot = $0.65

Cost of sodding 1.1 sq foot = $0.65 $\times$ 1.1 = $0.715

Total cost of fencing and sodding = $(5.995 + 0.715)

                                                         = $6.71
