1. A rectangular carpet, that is 9 feet by 12 feet, covers 60% of a rectangular floor. What is the area of the floor?
- A. 300 square feet
- B. 300 square feet
- C. 300 square feet
- D. 300 square feet
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Area of the carpet = 9 x 12 = 108 sq ft
60% of the floor = 108 sq ft
So, total or 100% floor area = 108 x 100 / 60 = 180 sq ft
