Question

A large western stare consists of 3872 million acres of land. Approximately 82% of this land is federally owned. Find the number of acres that are not federally owned.

Answer 1

696.96 million acres of land

Explanation:

Acres not federally owned = Percentage of acres not federally owned x total acres of land

Percentage of acres not federally owned = 100% - percentage of acres federally owned

100% - 82% = 18%

0.18 x 3872 = 696.96 million acres of land
