Question

A region consists of 2,545 thousand acres of farm land. If 32​% of this land is privately​ owned, find how may acres are not privately owned

Answer 1

1730.6

Explanation:

First you have to substract 100 - 32 to find the percentage of land (acres) that is not privately owned

You get 68 percent, then you need to multiply the percentage to the 2,545 thousand acres of farmland the region consists

So, 2,545 x .68

=1730.6
