The length of a garden is 125% of its width. If the width of the garden is 8 meters, what is the area of the garden?

To find 125% of 8, it is easiest to first find 25% of 8 then multiply it by 5 since 125% is 5 times 25%. 
To find 25% of 8, divide it by 4. 
8 / 4 = 2 
Multiply 2 by 5. 
2 x 5 = 10 
That means that the length of the garden is 10. 
To find the area of the garden, multiply the length by the width. 
10 x 8 = 80 
The area of the garden is 80 m². 
Hope this helps!
