We are required to find the percent of an acres is this lot

The percent of acres of the lot is 27.55%

Area of an acre = 4840 square yards

Area of the lot = Length × width

= 40 feet × 100 feet

= 4000 square feet

<em>convert feet to yards</em>

1 foot = 0.333333

4000 square feet = 1333.333 square yards

Therefore,

Area of the lot = 1333.333 square yards

percent of an acres is this lot = 1333.333 / 4840 × 100

= 0.2754820247933 × 100

= 27.548202479338

Approximately,

27.55%

Therefore,

The percent of acres of the lot is 27.55%
