My question is: Nicholas bought six times as much fabric as Kenneth. If Kenneth paid $40 for an oz of fabric and bought 700oz, calculate the amount of money that Nicholas paid more than Kenneth for the fabric he bought. Your thoughts:

If Kenneth bought 700oz of fabric at $40 per oz, he spent a total of 700 * 40 = $28000. Nicholas bought six times as much fabric as Kenneth, meaning Nicholas bought 6 * 700 = 4200oz of fabric. If an oz of fabric is sold at $40, Nicholas paid 4200 * $40 = $168000 for the 4200oz of fabric. The amount of money that Nicholas paid more than Kenneth for the fabric he bought is $168000 - 28000 = $140000. The final answer: 140000.
