Answer:

The answer is 24.3

Step-by-step explanation:

18 percent is the part. 100 percent is the whole.

The area of the pantry is the part. We don’t know what this is, so we’ll call this x. The area of the kitchen is 135 square feet. That is the whole.

We now have a proportion, so we can make the cross product equation: 18 times 135 equals one hundred times x.

When we multiply and solve, we get 24.3 The area of the pantry is 24.3 square feet.
