Answer: 720 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Elliott’s backyard is 4800 square feet.

His dad is going to pave 15% of this area to use as a patio.

We can rewrite 15% as 0.15 [To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100.]

Then , the number of square feet will be paved is given by :-

$0.15\times4800=720$

Hence, the required answer is 720 square feet.
