Question

2. From a roll of cotton containing 24.75 meters, a seller sold 9.85 meter

at P22.25 meter. How many meters were left?

Answer 1

`Length\ Left = 14.9m`

Explanation:

Given

`Length = 24.75m`

`Length\ Sold = 9.85m`

`Selling\ Price = P22.25`

Required

Determine the length of cotton left.

This is calculated by subtracting the length sold from the total length of cotton.

`Length\ Left = Total - Length\ Sold`

Substitute values for Total length and length sold

`Length\ Left = 24.75m - 9.85m`

`Length\ Left = 14.9m`

Hence, there are 14.9 meters of cotton left.
