The directions on a sewing pattern say to cut an extra 15% of fabric to account for error. Chloe needs 0.75 yard of fabric to make a skirt, and she cuts 0.1125 yard. Did Chloe cut the correct amount of fabric? Why or why not?

She was correct to multiply .75 by .15 to get .1125, but she forgot to add that value to .75 to get the total amount of fabric needed.
