A rectangular carpet 2.5m long and 2.4m wide covers 5% of a rectangular floor. Calculate the area of the floor
30m2
57m2
120m2
225m2
Explanation
Area of carpet = 2.5 x 2.4 = 6
Let F represent the floor
6 = 5% of F
6 = \(\frac{5}{100}\) x F
5F = 6 x 100
F = 6 x \(\frac{100}{5}\)
= 120m2
Let F represent the floor
6 = 5% of F
6 = \(\frac{5}{100}\) x F
5F = 6 x 100
F = 6 x \(\frac{100}{5}\)
= 120m2
