Question

A circular garden has an area of 25 square feet. the inner part is an herb garden that occupies 20% of the area of the garden. if the rest of the garden is flower beds, the flower beds occupy ____ square feet?

Answer 1

the flower beds occupy:
100% - 20% = 80%
We then have the following rule of three:
25 feet ^ 2 ------> 100%
x -----------------> 80%
We clear the value of x:
x = (80/100) * (25)
x = 20 feet ^ 2
Answer:
the flower beds occupy 25 square feet
