A garden has vegetables planted in a by area. The vegetables are surrounded by a border of flowers. By what percent is the area for planting vegetables increased if the border of flowers is removed
10%
To find the percent increase in the area for planting vegetables when the border of flowers is removed, you need to compare the area of the vegetable garden before and after the flowers are removed.
Let's say the area of the vegetable garden with the flower border is A. If we remove the flower border, the area of the vegetable garden will become B.
To calculate the percent increase, we can use the following formula:
Percent Increase = (B - A) / A * 100
Here are the steps to find the answer:
1. Find the area of the vegetable garden with the flower border (A).
2. Calculate the area of the vegetable garden without the flower border (B).
3. Subtract A from B to find the difference in area.
4. Divide the difference in area by A.
5. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
By following these steps, you can find the answer to the question.
