An electrician needs 20 meters and 30 centimeters of cable wire to complete a job. The wire costs $1.75 per meter. How much will the electrician pay for the wire?

Convert 30 centimeters to meters: 30 cm = 0.30 m, so the electrician needs 20.30 meters. At $1.75 per meter, the cost is 20.30 × $1.75 = $35.525, which rounds to $35.53, choice B.
