Need help determining how many yards for drapery

I am ordering fabric for two windows this coming week. On one window they will need to be 114” in length and 1.5 width, I don’t want to do double width as they will never be closed they are just decorative and I want to keep as much of the view as I can. I have calculated that this window will need 12 yards. I don’t know how to calculate the 27” return for the pattern, it is a large pattern.

The second window requires the drapes to be 100” in length and 1 width, as the window buts up to the wall and again these are just decorative and will not need to be closed, and I want to retain the view. I calculated that this window will require 7 yards. Again, I am stumped as how to calculate for the large pattern? Does anyone know how much extra yardage I should order due to the pattern?
