Help with why program isn't working correctly

Now that I have fixed the strings...why isn't the program figuring out the math properly? I think that it is not calling the pricePerSqYd correctly, but i'm not sure how to make it do that.

It's simply if(type == "woven"), no special functions.
Oh, thank you!
