The Santos family owns 30 acres of land. Of the 30 acres, only 20 acrs can be farmed. What percent of the land is available for farming?

1 answer

To find the percentage of land available for farming, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Farming Area}}{\text{Total Area}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, the farming area is 20 acres and the total area is 30 acres.

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{20 \text{ acres}}{30 \text{ acres}} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{20}{30} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{2}{3} \right) \times 100 \approx 66.67% \]

Therefore, approximately 66.67% of the land is available for farming.
