Question

In a flat,60% of the area is occupied by bedrooms. If the area occupied by the bedrooms is 720 sq.feet , find the total area of the flat

Answer 1

Answer:

1200 sqft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total area of the flat = x

Given: 60% of x is occupied by bedrooms and this is 720 sqft

=> 60% of x = 720

=> 60/100 * x = 720

=> x = (720 * 100)/60

=> x = 1200

The total area of the house = 1200 sqft

Answer 2

Total Area of Flat.

Answer: Total area of the flat is equal to 1200 square feet.

Explanation:

Given that In a flat , 60% area is occupied by bedroom

Also value of area occupied by bedroom = 720 Square feet

Need to determine total area of the flat

lets assume total area of the flat be represented by x square feet

so area occupied by bedroom = 60% of total area

⇒ Area occupied by bedroom = 60% of x = (60/100) × x

⇒  Area occupied by bedroom =  6x/10

but its also given that Area occupied by bedroom  = 720 square feet

⇒  6x/10 = 720

solving above expression for x we get

⇒  6x = 720 × 10

⇒  6x = 7200

=> x = 7200/6 = 1200

Hence total area of the flat is equal to x sqaure feet that is 1200 square feet.
