Question

A fabric store has two rolls of the same cloth. One roll has
yards of cloth, and the other roll has
yards of cloth. The store sells 4 pieces of the cloth. Each piece sold is
yards long.
How many yards of the cloth does the fabric store have left

Answer 1

To determine how many yards of cloth the fabric store has left after selling the pieces, we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the total amount of cloth the store has initially:**
Let’s denote the first roll of cloth as \( A \) yards and the second roll as \( B \) yards. The total initial amount of cloth is:
\[
\text{Total initial cloth} = A + B
\]

2. **Calculate the total amount of cloth sold:**
Since the store sells 4 pieces, and each piece is \( C \) yards long, the total amount of cloth sold is:
\[
\text{Total sold} = 4 \times C
\]

3. **Calculate how much cloth is left after the sale:**
The cloth remaining can be calculated by subtracting the total sold from the total initial cloth:
\[
\text{Cloth left} = (A + B) - (4 \times C)
\]

To find the final answer, substitute the given values of \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) into the above expression.

If you provide the specific lengths for \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \), I can help calculate the exact amount of cloth left.
