The video tutorial explains how to calculate the cost of fencing a yard. It begins by introducing the problem, where each foot of fence costs $5, and one side of the yard is bordered by a garage, eliminating the need for fencing there. The tutorial then demonstrates how to visualize the yard, calculate the total length of fence needed, convert improper fractions to mixed numbers, and finally compute the total cost of the fence, resulting in a total cost of $327.
