Question

A square with side length 4 cm represents 20% of a larger figure what is the area of the larger figure?

Answer 1

First we are going to find divided by 100 and multiply 20 is equal to four.

We are gonna use x to represent this number.

x/100 * 20 = 4

Solve for x

Therefore x = 20cm

Now that we found x the side of the larger square we are gonna find the area which is side^2.

20 * 20

Therefore the area of the larger square is 400cm^2
