The area of the gym is 6 times the size of the classroom. Find the floor area if it is 250 m2 larger than the classroom area.

We will solve this problem using an equation with one unknown.

1. The area of the classroom is x m2.

2. The area of the gym is x * 6 = 6x m2.

3. The area of the gym is (x + 250) m2.

4. Let’s compose and solve the equation.

6x = x + 250;

6x – x = 250;

5x = 250;

x = 250/5;

x = 50;

5. Let’s calculate what the area of the gym is equal to.

x * 6 = 50 * 6 = 300 m2.

Answer: The area of the gym is three hundred square meters.
