Let A = piece 1 is 32.3cm\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let B = piece 2 is 41.19cm\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let C = piece 3 is 57.8cm\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The total needed is 200cm for the box.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we add A + B + C, the total ribbons is 131.29cm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How much is Marie over or under what she needs? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Marie is definitely under in terms of cm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By how much is she under?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 131.29cm from 200cm and you shall have the answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Can you do it now?\r
