Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Area of carpet = 2.5 x 2.4 = 6
Let F represent the floor
6 = 5% of F
6 = \(\frac{5}{100}\) x F
5F = 6 x 100
F = 6 x \(\frac{100}{5}\)
= 120m2
Let F represent the floor
6 = 5% of F
6 = \(\frac{5}{100}\) x F
5F = 6 x 100
F = 6 x \(\frac{100}{5}\)
= 120m2
