The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B. Isabella's mother has a garden with an area of 1023 square feet. She plants peas in 14 of the garden. Part A Calculate the area that was used for planting peas.
To calculate the area used for planting peas, we need to find 14/100ths of the total garden area.
Area used for planting peas = (14/100) * 1023
Area used for planting peas = 0.14 * 1023
Area used for planting peas = 143.22 square feet
Therefore, the area used for planting peas is 143.22 square feet.
Now answer part B: Calculate the area of the garden that is not used for planting peas.
Isabella's mother sells the peas and gets $3 for each square foot. So, multiply your answer from Part A by 3 to calculate how much money Isabella's mother made. (2 points)
To calculate how much money Isabella's mother made from selling the peas, we need to multiply the area used for planting peas by the selling price per square foot.
Amount made from selling peas = 143.22 * 3
Amount made from selling peas = $429.66
Therefore, Isabella's mother made $429.66 from selling the peas.
