Answer 1

Charlie owns 9,315 ft2 of the land area

Explanation:

There are 34,500 ft2 of land shared between Mabel, Adeline, and Charlie.

Mabel owns 26% of the land area, that is:

26*34,500 ft2 / 100 = 8,970 ft2

Adeline owns 47% of the land area, or:

47*34,500 ft2 / 100 = 16,215 ft2

The land owned by Mabel and Adeline is: 8,970 ft2 + 16,215 ft2 = 25,185 ft2

Since the total area land is 34,500 ft2, Charlie owns:

34,500 ft2 - 25,185 ft2 = 9,315 ft2

Charlie owns 9,315 ft2 of the land area
