A circular garden has an area of 25 square feet. the inner part is an herb garden that occupies 20% of the area of the garden. if the rest of the garden is flower beds, the flower beds occupy ____ square feet?
the flower beds occupy: 100% - 20% = 80% We then have the following rule of three: 25 feet ^ 2 ------> 100% x -----------------> 80% We clear the value of x: x = (80/100) * (25) x = 20 feet ^ 2 Answer: the flower beds occupy 25 square feet
