Question

a painter Paints 240 square feet of wall. if this is 48% of the total wall surface, what is the area of the wall in square feet?

Answer 1

Area painted = 240 sq. ft.
Given percentage = 48%
So, take the area of wall as x.
Now, 48% of x = 240
So x = (240*100)/48 = 500 sq. ft.
This is the area of the wall.
