Nico had 312 yards of fabric. He used 23 yard to make a pillow cover and 13 yard to make a scarf. How much fabric does Nico have left?

Question

Im personally really bad at these "how much does she/he have remaining" please help me!!

Answer 1

Hello Meghan,

So, what we want to do is to add the yardage used by Nico already and then subtract that sum from the total yardage left, fair enough?

Therefore:

23

13

---

36

Total yardage is 312

36

-----

276 yards left over.
