Answer:

21 square inches

Explanation:

Given: The length of a gift shop was 12 yards and the width was 7 yards. 25% of the gift shop will be dedicated to the cashier and employees.

To find: area dedicated to just the employees and cashier

Solution:

Length of a gift shop (rectangle) = 12 yards

Breadth of a gift shop (rectangle) = 7 yards

Area of a gift shop (rectangle) = Length × Breadth = 12 × 7 = 84 square inches

Area dedicated to the employees and cashier = 25% of the gift shop

=
(25)/(100)(84)=21 square inches.
