Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of displays i can fit are 24

Step-by-step explaination:

Here, we are plannng to purchase displays  for store which has 2400 sq ft of selling space.

Given that each display has a footprint of $10 ft\times 4 ft$.

and also we want to leave 60% open space in store for walking around. so, firstly we have to find the area of space which leave open is

Open space area = $2400\times 60%$

                              = 1440 sq ft

∴ The area which is used to fit the display is 2400-1440=960 sq ft

$No. of displays =\frac{Total area}{Areaof display}displays$

                                 =$\frac{960}{40}=24 displays$

Answer 2

Solution: Space to be left as open = 60% of 2400 square ft. = 2400 * 60/100 = 1440 sq. ft. Space left for display = 2400- 1440 = 960 sq ft. Size of each display = 10 ft * 4 ft = 40 sq. ft Number of displays that can be fitted in the store = Space left for display / size of display = 960 / 40 = 24 24 displays can be put up in the store.
