Consumer Mathematics Walter Swensen wants to replace some of the fences on a farm in Caribou, Maine. The wooden rail fence costs about $60 for wood and $50 for labor to install a fence that is 12 feet long. His son estimates he would need 276 feet of new fence. However, when he measures it he realizes he only needs 216 new feet of fence. What is the difference in cost of his son’s estimate versus his estimate with regard to how many feet of fence are needed?
