A garden is in the shape of a rectangle 85 m by 50m.

Flowers are grown in 32% of the garden.
The rest of the garden is grass.

Work out the area of the garden that is grass.
Show your working out.

2,890 meters^2 is grass

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the garden

Area of a rectangle can be found using:

a=lw

a=85*50

a=4,250 meters^2

We know that 32% of the area is flowers, so we can multiply 32% and 4250

32%*4250

Convert 32% to a decimal by dividing by 100

32%/100=0.32

0.32*4250=1360

So, 1360 meters^2 is flowers.

The rest must be grass, so we can find the difference between the total area and the flowers

4250-1360=2890

So, 2,890 meters^2 is grass

The answer to your question is 2890 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 85 m

width = 50 m

32% are flowers

Process

1.- Calculate the area of the garden

Area = length x width

-Substitution

Area = 85 x 50

        = 4250 m²

2.- Calculate the area of the garden that are flowers

                   4250 100%

                       x      32%

                           x = (32 x 4250) / 100

                           x = 136000/100

                           x = 1360 m² are flowers

3.- Calculate the area of the garden that is grass

Area of grass = 4250 - 1360

Area of grass = 2890 m²

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
