Solution

Cloth required to stitch one shirt = $2 m 15 c m$
= $2 \times 100 c m + 15 c m$
= $215 c m$
Length of cloth = 40 m
$\Rightarrow 40 \times 100 c m = 4, 000 c m$
Number of shirts can be stitched = $4, 000 \div 215$

Therefore, 18 shirts can be stitched and 130 cm (1 m 30 cm) cloth will remain.
