answer is 40 ....hope this helps

Answer 2

116 diners.

Explanation:

An owner submits plans for a dining room measuring 100 ft. by 35 ft.

The plans department requires 30 square feet per diner.

Area of dining room = 100 × 35 = 3500 feet²

Required area per diner = 30 feet²

Number of diners allowed =
`\frac{\text{Area of dinning room}}{\text{Area required per diner}}`

=
`(3500)/(30)`

= 116.67

We can not round off 116.67 to 117 because area required by 117 diners will be = 117 × 30 = 3510 feet² which is more than the area of the dinning room

Therefore, 116 diners will be allowed.
