Question

You work in a nursery with
20 children aged 3 - 5 years.
Your current room size is
415m² and does not meet
floor space requirements.
The room needs to increase
in size by 11%.
How big should the room
be?

Answer 1

Answer:

The room should be 460.65 $m^{2}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to convert the percentage to a fraction.

11% = 0.11

Then add one to that number.

0.11 + 1 = 1.11

Multiply the number with the original room size.

415 * 1.11 = 460.65 ($m^{2}$)
