Explanation:

Step1: Set up the unit - conversion formula

We know the price is 15 USD per yard and 1 yard = 0.9144 meters. Let $x$ be the price in USD per meter. We can set up the proportion $\frac{15\text{ USD}}{1\text{ yard}}=\frac{x\text{ USD}}{1\text{ meter}}$. Since 1 yard = 0.9144 meters, we have $x=\frac{15}{0.9144}$.

Step2: Calculate the value of $x$

$x=\frac{15}{0.9144}\approx16.40$.

Answer:

16.40
