Adeveloper wants to develop a 25-acre subdivision. he figures that the streets and common area will take up about 35% of this overall area. if the minimum lot size is to be 25,000 sf, how many lots can the developer have on this property? 15 lots 65 lots 28 lots 34 lots

The first thing we must do is calculate the amount of area to use for the lots.
 We have then:
 (1-0.35) * (25) = 16.25 acres
 Then, we use the following conversion:
 1 acre = 43560 feet ^ 2
 Therefore, the amount of area available for lots is:
 (43560) * (16.25) = 707850 feet ^ 2
 Then, the number of lots is:
 N = (707850) / (25000)
 N = 28,314
 Nearest whole number:
 N = 28 lots
 
 the developer have on this property about:
 N = 28 lots
