Question

me vazquez determines that the area of a bathroom in his house is 25 square feet less than 1/5 of the area of the living room. if the bathroom measures 35 square feet what is the area of the living room

Answer 1

Area of Living Room = 300 square feet

Explanation:

According to question ,

The area of bathroom = 35 square feet

And it is mention that area of bathroom is 25 sqft less than
`(1)/(5)` area of living room .

Thus , as per question ,

Area of bathroom =
`(1)/(5)` times area of living room - 25 sqft

Or, 35 sqft =
`(1)/(5)` times area of living room - 25 sqft

Or, 35 sqft + 25sqft =
`(1)/(5)` times area of living room

Or, 60 sqft =
`(1)/(5)` times area of living room

∴ Area of living room = 60 × 5

Hence , Area of living room = 300 square feet .
