The garden area is given by:

[tex] A = (18) * (20)

A = 360
[/tex]

We are looking for the backyard area now.

For this, we make the following rule of three:

360 ---------------------> 24%

x -------------------------> 100%

From here, we must clear the value of x.

We have then:

[tex] x = (100/24) * (360)

x = 1500 ft ^ 2
[/tex]

Answer:

The total area of the back yard is:

[tex] x = 1500 ft ^ 2 [/tex]
