Mr. Jones has a rectangular garden that is 100 square feet. He plants vegetables in 35\frac{3}{5} of the garden. In the remaining section, he plants flowers in an area of 25 square feet. How much of the garden is left unplanted?

  1. 15 sq ft (correct answer)
  2. 25 sq ft
  3. 35 sq ft
  4. 40 sq ft

Explanation: First, calculate the area used for vegetables: 35×100=60\frac{3}{5} \times 100 = 60 square feet. Next, find the remaining area: 100−60=40100 - 60 = 40 square feet. Within this remaining 40 sq ft area, he plants 25 sq ft of flowers. To find the unplanted area, subtract the flower area from the remaining area: 40−25=1540 - 25 = 15 square feet.
