Hi there!
The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplication sign.
1)
20% = 0.2
0.2 × 20 = 4
2)
? × 30 = 15
divide each side of the equation by 30
? = 0.5
0.5 = 50%
3)
50% = 0.5
0.5 × ? = 50
divide each side of the equation by 0.5
? = 100
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
a + 5 = 11
You need to isolate the variable by subtracting from both sides
a + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5
a = 6
The Addition/Subtraction Property of Equality states that if you add or subtract the same number to both sides of an equation the two sides still remain equal.

Answer:
let dimention of original garden be x
then (x-8)(x-5) = 180
x^2 -13x -140 = 0
(x-20)(x+7)=0
x= 20 or x = -7
x = 20
original area = (20)^2
= 400 m^2
So 60% = 3/5
All you do is 3/5 x 10 = 30/5 and get 6
