Presley bought a total of 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 yards of fabric.
Since 1 yard is equivalent to 3 feet, then Presley bought a total of 4 * 3 = 12 feet of fabric.
The cost per foot of fabric is $12.23 / 12 = $<<12.23/12=1.02>>1.02 (rounded to the nearest cent).
Therefore, Presley paid $1.02 per foot of fabric, which is closest to option A, $0.27.
