Malik's arts and crafts shop has a bolt of crimson velvet 32 meters long. A customer came in during the morning and bought 120 centimeters of the velvet. Another customer bought an additional 14 meters during the afternoon. How much crimson velvet does Malik's shop have left? Write the answer in centimeters.

13?

To find the answer, we need to calculate the total length of velvet that was sold and subtract it from the original length of 32 meters.

First, we need to convert the length measurements to the same unit. We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. So, we can convert the initial length of the bolt of velvet from meters to centimeters:

32 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 3200 centimeters

Next, we need to calculate the total length of velvet that was sold. The first customer bought 120 centimeters, and the second customer bought an additional 14 meters, which is equal to 14 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 1400 centimeters.

Now, we can calculate the remaining amount of crimson velvet by subtracting the total length sold from the original length:

3200 centimeters - (120 centimeters + 1400 centimeters) = 1680 centimeters

Therefore, Malik's arts and crafts shop has 1680 centimeters of crimson velvet left.
