Question

90 m
A garden is in the shape of a rectangle 90 m by 60 m.
Flowers are grown in 40% of the garden.
The rest of the garden is grass.
Work out the area of the garden that is grass.
60 m

Answer 1

3,240 square meters

Explanation:

Area of garden = 90*60= 5400 square meters.

Flowers grown on = 40%

So, grass grown on = (100 -40)% = 60%

60% of 5400 = 0.6*5400 = 3,240.

So, the area of the garden that is grass = 3,240 square meters.
