Question

A grocery store has 1,600 square feet of floor space. The store then buys the neighboring

building and expands by 75%. After the expansion, how much floor space does the grocery store
have?

Answer 1

The total space is 2800 ft^2

Explanation:

First find out how much space was added

1600 *75%

1600*.75

1200 ft^2

Add this to the original space

1600+1200

2800

The total space is 2800 ft^2
