Answer 1

Kendra is using 27 blue pieces and some white pieces to make a quilt the quilt has a total area of 540 square in each piece of the quilt has an area of 5 square inches how much of the area of the quilt is white ​

Let

x -----> number of pieces white

we have that

(27+x)*5=540

solve for x

27+x=540/5

27+x=108

x=108-27

x=81

that means

there 81 pieces white

area white=81*5=405 in2

answer is option C
