The width of a rectangular room is 40% of its length. If the length is 20 feet, what is the area of the room?

160 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the width, then you find the area. To find the width with a percentage we do Part/ Total = %/100  and we cross multiply. We need to find the part so that is the unknown, we will call it 'w' for width

w/20 = 40/100       Now we cross multiply, the x and the 100 and the 20 and 40

w * 100 = 100w

20 * 40 = 800

Now we have 100w = 800      The next step is to divide both sides by 100 so we just have w

100x/100= w

800/100 = 8

w = 8

The width is 8

Now we find the area which is length x width

20 x 8 = 160

So the area is 160 ft^2
