Mr. Subramanian says that his wife has put an 18x51 foot garden along the whole back end of
their back yard. He says that has reduced the lawn area by 24%. What are the total dimensions of
his back yard?
1] 51x75 ft. 2] 55x39 ft 3] 49x28 ft. 4] 73x59ft.

• 51x75 ft
  
  if A is area of backyard, then A*0.24 = 18*51
  A= 18*51*100/24 = 51*75 = 51x75

• Let the backyard area along with the lawn be L and lawn area is 18*51.
  Then given, L=18*51+(L-0.24L)
  now we get L = 51*75

• (18*51)*100/24 = 51*75

• ans:51x75 ft
  Let x be area of back yard,
  then its 24% is equal to area of garden.
  so,0.24*x=18*51
  i.e., x=51x75
