Hello guys please answer step by step ?
Q : A painter paints 240sq.ft of a wall . If this is 48% of the total wall surface , what is the area of the wall in sq.feet ?? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

500 sq. feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the wall painted = 240 sq. feet

Percentage of the wall painted = 48%

Let the area of the wall (in sq. feet) be x.

∴  240/x  ×  100 = 48

   24000/x = 48

   24000/48 = x

   500 = x

The area of the wall is 500 sq. feet.
