Mr. thompson has been asked to add storage space to a garage. he estimates 6 square feet per individual will be required to meet the needs of 12 people. if the storage space is 15% of the total amount of space required, how much total space does mr. thompson have? mr. thompson had square feet.

To solve this problem, first let us calculate for the total space of the storage area:

Total storage space = (6 square feet / person) (12 persons)

Total storage space = 72 square feet

Since this storage space is only equivalent to 15% of the total garage space, therefore we can write the equation:

(0.15) total space = total storage space

total space = total storage space / 0.15

Then calculating for the total space by substitution of the variable:

total space = 72 square feet / 0.15

total space = 480 square feet

Therefore Mr. Thompson has a total space of 480 square feet.
