Question

A local park currently has 150.04 square meters of grassy area. The members of a community group have proposed the following

changes to the way the park land is used
• Clearing dead trees and shrubs would allow for 37 51 square meters of additional grassy area.
• Removing an unused picnic pavilion would allow for 82.70 square meters of additional grassy area.
• Updating and expanding the playground would reduce the grassy area by 54 19 square meters
How many square meters of grassy area would the park have if all of the community group's proposals were applied?

Answer 1

Answer: they would have 216.06 square meters of grassy area left in the park

Step-by-step explanation: if you start with 150.04 and add 37.51 by removing trees and shrubs you would have 187.55 and then if you added 82.70 more square feet by removing the unused Picnic pavilion you would have 270.25 square meters of grassy area. Then lastly is you update the playground by reducing 54.19 square meters ( 270.25-54.19) you would get left with 216.06 square meters of grassy area :)
