A rectangular carpet 2.5m long and 2.4m wide covers 5% of a rectangular floor. Calculate the area of the floor
-
A.
30m2 -
B.
57m2 -
C.
120m2 -
D.
225m2
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Area of carpet = 2.5 x 2.4 = 6
Let F represent the floor
6 = 5% of F
6 = (frac{5}{100}) x F
5F = 6 x 100
F = 6 x (frac{100}{5})
= 120m2
