Kendra has a painting canvas that is 26 inches wide by 33 inches high. She painted a red rose, which covered 30% of the canvas. What was the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose?

Question

A:77.22in squared

B:51.48in squared

C:57.4in squared

D:858in squared

Answer 1

.3(26x33) = 858(.3) = 257.4 in^2

C) probably is a typo that left out the 2 in 257.4

but on the "best answer" theory where you're supposed to pick the answer closest to the correct answer A) would be "best"

but with bugs in the computer system, odds are the computer will mark it correct only for C)
