Question

{Please check comments for image!}


(b) Mrs. Ferguson wants to know the area of the bathroom. The hotel website stated that the area of the bathroom is 30% of the hotel room. Mrs. Ferguson says, “Since this means the dimensions of the bathroom are also 30% of the dimensions of the hotel room, I can find the area of the bathroom by finding 30% of the length and 30% of the width of the room and multiplying these numbers.” Is Mrs. Ferguson correct? Explain your answer and show work to support your answer.
