To solve this question, the student must understand they need to find area. One way to realize that in this problem is realizing that the rate is $3 per SQUARE FEET, a unit of area. To find area of the (implied) rectangle use the formula A= l * w. 11 * 5 = 55 square feet. Since it is $3 per square feet multiply again to get 55 * 3 or 165 dollars.
