If the string costs c cents per foot, then it costs 3c cents per yard (because 1 yard = 3 feet). So the price of y yards of the string will be \(3cy\) cents. Dividing this by 100 (to convert from cents per dollars), the cost of the string will be \(\frac{3cy}{100}\) dollars, choice (D).
Note: a real ETS question should mention the conversion between yard and feet.
