Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total wall surface area = x sq. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total wall surface area = x sq. ft

area of wall in sq. ft = 48% of x

= 48/100 × x

= 48x/100

area painted = 240 sq. ft

48x/100 = 240

x = 240 × 100 / 48

= 500 sq. ft of wall in sq. ft = 48% x = 240 × 100 / 48

= 500 sq. ft•••♪
