​

Answer 1

Answer:

49.5 meters of linen were left after the sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 100 meters of linen

And 15.75, 22.50 and 12.25 meters are sold.

This means that the sold linen has to be added  to find the total linen sold.

And then the quantity of sold linen will be subtracted from 100 to find the meters of linen left.

$Total\ linen\ sold = 15.75+22.50+12.25 = 50.5\ meters$

Left linen will be:

$=100-50.5 = 49.5$

Hence,

49.5 meters of linen were left after the sale.
