Question

You are planning to purchase displays for your store which has 2,400 sq ft of selling space. Each display has a footprint of 10 ft x 4 ft. You want to leave 60% open space in your store for walking around. How many displays can you fit

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 36 displays in the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of store = 2400 sq. ft

Area of each display = 10 x 4 = 40 sq. ft

Open space for visitors = 60% of 2400 = 60/100 x 2400

                                       = 60 x 24 = 1440 sq. ft

Area for display = 2400 - 1440 = 960 sq. ft

Therefore, number of displays = 1440 / 40

                                                   = 36 displays
