amount of fabric :-)

How much was spent for a certain amount of fabric?

(1) The cost of the fabric was $15 per square yard

(2) An additional 6 Square yards of the fabric would have cost an additional $90

IMO- E

to find amount spent we need fabric volume and cost

(1) gives the cost ( insufficient)
(2) also gives the cost ( insufficient)

combining too doesn't give volume...

Totally E, for the reason above.

thought c could have been the answer...
but its clear because the volume isn't provided in both the statements

No volume , no total cost..
