If the clothing maker bought 500 m2 of this fabric, how much money did he lose?

Use 1tepiz=0.625 dollar and 0.9144m=1yard.

Clothing maker paid 400 tepizes per square meter.

500 m² * 400/m² = 200,000 tepizes.

1 yard = 0.9144 m ⇒ 1 yd² = 0.8361 m²

500 m² * 1yd²/0.8361m² = 598 yd²

In New York 1 yd² costs $120

598 yd² * 120/yd² = $71,760

Convert tepiz to dollars. 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollars

200,000 tepizes * 0.625dollars / 1 tepiz = $125,000

Sales $71,760 - Cost 125,000 = Net loss $53,140

He lost $53,140
