Question

painter Prince 240 square feet of a wall if this is 48% of the wall surface what is the area of the wall in square feet​

Answer 1

let the total surface of the wall be X

$48\% \: of \: x = 240sq.feet$

$\frac{48}{100} \times x = 240 \: sq. \: feet$

$x = 240 \times \frac{100}{48}$

$x = 10 \times \cancel{ \frac{100}{2} }$

$x = 10 \times 50$

$x = 500sq. \: \: feet$

Answer 2

let the total surface of the wall be X

48\% \: of \: x = 240sq.feet48%ofx=240sq.feet

\frac{48}{100} \times x = 240 \: sq. \: feet10048​×x=240sq.feet

x = 240 \times \frac{100}{48}x=240×48100​

x = 10 \times \cancel{ \frac{100}{2} }x=10×2100​​

x = 10 \times 50x=10×50

x = 500sq. \: \: feetx=500sq.feet
