1. 14%

2. 18%

3. 26%

4. 5.6%

5. 20%

6. 22%

The correct answer is: 18%

To calculate the percentage that a 500 sq. ft. living room represents of a 2,800 sq. ft. house, you need to divide the area of the living room by the total area of the house and then multiply by 100 to obtain the percentage. So, 500 sq. ft. (living room) ÷ 2,800 sq. ft. (total house) = 0.1785 Finally, multiply 0.1785 by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.1785 x 100 = 17.85%. Among the provided choices, the closest percentage is 18%, which is the correct answer.
