Answer:

The total amount of floor space in the building is
$109,585\ ft^2$

Explanation:

we know that

A building has 217 floors. Each floor has 505 square feet of floor space

so

To find out the total amount of floor space in the building, multiply the area of one floor by the number of floors of the building

Let

x ------> area of one floor of the building in square feet

y -----> number of floors of the building

z -----> the total amount of floor space in the building in square feet

z=xy

we have

$x=505\ ft^2$

$y=217\ floors$

substitute

$z=505(217)=109,585\ ft^2$
