Question

a studio has 1600 square feet of floor space. the studio then buys the neighboring building and expands by 75%

Answer 1

the total new area is 2800 ft²

Explanation:

original area: 1600 ft²

new expanded area: 1600 ft² + 75% of 1600 ft²

new expanded area = 1600 ft² + 0.75 × 1600 ft²

new expanded area = 1600 ft² + 1200 ft²

total new area = 2800 ft²
