Question

"A developer has 100 acres of land. He wants to preserve 30% of the land for another project while selling the rest immediately as separate lots. If zoning requires the lots to be at least 31,500 square feet, how many lots can he sell?"

Answer 1

The correct answer is "He can sell 96 lots"

Step-by-step explanation:

The developer has 100 acres of land.

He wants to preserve 30% of the land for another project

100 Acres x 30% = 30 acres to preserve

100 acres - 30 acres = 70 acres to sell

1 Acre = 43,560 square feet

70 acres x 43,560 square feet = 3´049,200 square feet

If zoning requires the lots to be at least 31,500 square feet

3´049,200 square feet ÷ 31,500 square feet per lot = 96.8 lots ≈ 96 lots

He can sell 96 lots
