Answer 1

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 95.4% of the park will be used for other activities.

What is a percentage?

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

In this problem, there will be two courts of 5,000 square feet each, totaling 10,000 square feet. The remainder 207,800 square feet will be used for other activities, hence the percentage is given by:

$P = \frac{207,800}{217,800} \times 100\% = 95.4\%$

95.4% of the park will be used for other activities.
