Question

Your building plan for your restaurant includes one men's and women's restroom. The city inspector lets you kno that you must have at least 400 square feet per bathroom. If your building is a total 4,000 square feet, how many square feet are left for the development other nonbathroom areas?

Answer 1

Answer: 3200 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a total area of 4,000 ft^2.

In your plan, you will make two bathrooms (one men's restroom and one women's restroom)

We know that each one of them needs 400ft^2, then the total area needed is two times 400ft^2, or:

2*400ft^2 = 800ft^2

If we subtract this to the total area, we get:

4000ft^2 - 800ft^2 = 3200 ft^2

That is the square feet left for the development of other nonbathroom areas.
