176 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure N 1

we know that

The area of the walkway around the rectangular pool, is equal to the area of two trapezoids (#1 and #2), plus the area of two smaller rectangles (#3 and #4)

see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the area of the two trapezoids (#1 and #2)

simplify

we have

substitute

step 2

Find the area of the two smaller rectangles (#3 and #4)

we have

substitute

step 3

Find the area of the walkway around the rectangular pool

because they could drop even lower..

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
