Answer:

None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The area of ground covered by each bag = 12x square feet,

Let A be the total area of the land,

So, the total number of bags required = [tex]\frac{\text{total area}}{\text{area covered by each bag}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{A}{12x}[/tex]

Also, the cost of each bag = 22 dollars,

So, the total cost to cover the ground ( say C ) = number of bags required × cost of each bag

[tex]C=\frac{A}{12x}\times 22[/tex]

For minimizing C we need the value of A,

Hence, none of the given options are correct.
