Have you used the '10 � 11 � 12 � 13' rule for approximate conversions. It is based on these approximations: 10 metres is about 11 yards, 10 square metres is about 12 square yards, 10 cubic metres is about 13 cubic yards. On this basis the square yard prices of carpets would be almost 20�% lower than the square metre prices.
