Cutting board

Four pieces measure 29.5 cm. 19.62 cm, 32.49 cm, and 24.74 cm are cut from a board that is 200 cm long. Allowing 1 cm for total waste in cutting, what is the length of the remaining piece?

Correct answer:

x =  92.65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=200\text{ cm } \\ b=29.5+19.62+32.49+24.74+1=107.35\text{ cm } \\ x=a-b=200-107.35=92.65\text{ cm} \end{gathered}$$
