Question

A bakery decided to expand since business was going so well. Originally, the width was five times the length. Now they are adding 5 feet to the length. If the length was originally 15 feet, what will be the area of the new bakery?

Answer 1

New area of bakery = 1500 square feet.

Explanation:

We need to find new area of bakery.

Old length = 15 feet

Old width = New width = 5 x Old length = 5 x 15 = 75 feet

New length = Old length + 5 feet = 15 + 5 = 20 feet

New area = New length x New width

New area = 75 x 20 = 1500 square feet.

New area of bakery = 1500 square feet.
