Michael's power cord is 32.45 inches long, and the power outlet is 43.2 inches away. To find out how much longer the power cord needs to be, we subtract the length of the cord from the distance to the outlet:

\[
\text{Difference} = 43.2 - 32.45 = 10.75 \, \text{inches}
\]

So, the power cord needs to be **10.75 inches** longer to reach the outlet.

2. How much longer would a cord need to be if the outlet were 60 inches away?
3. What percentage of the total distance to the outlet does the current cord cover?
4. If Michael had a 10-foot cord, how many inches of extra cord would he have after reaching the outlet?
5. How much would the cord need to be extended if the outlet were 100 cm away instead of 43.2 inches?

**Tip:** Always check your units (inches, feet, meters) when working with distances to avoid confusion.
