The loss incurred by the clothing maker for 500 m² of fabric is $53,239.
Detailed Explanation
The seven fundamental measurement units defined internationally are:
- 1. Length in meters (m)
- 2. Time in seconds (s)
- 3. Mass in kilograms (kg)
- 4. Temperature in kelvin (K)
- 5. Light intensity in candela (cd)
- 6. Electric current in amperes (A)
- 7. Amount of substance in moles (mol)
Derived quantities depend on these basic units.
The yard, a length unit used mainly in Commonwealth nations, converts as:
0.9144 meters equals 1 yard, or 1 meter equals approximately 1.0933 yards.
Therefore, 1 m² corresponds to 1.196 yards².
Given 500 m² purchased, this converts to approximately 598 yards².
To calculate the monetary loss, compare prices in New York and the small island:
1. New York price: 120 dollars per yard², so for 598 yards²:
$120 × 598 = $71,760
2. Small island price per m²: 400 tepizes; with 1 tepiz = $0.625, this equals $250 per m² or $209.03 per yard².
For 598 yard², cost is:
$209.03 × 598 ≈ $124,999.94
The difference is:
$124,999.94 - $71,760 = $53,239
