If 35% of a natural area is to be developed, leaving 500 acres untouched, how many acres are to be developed?

Area to be developed = 269.23 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there is A acres natural area to be developed.

If 35% of A acres is developed then untouched area will be (100 - 35 = 65%)

Now it has been given in the question that 65% of A (untouched area) = 500 acres

So area of the natural field = 769.23 acres

Now 35% of the natural area which is to be developed = A×35%

Area of the natural area to be developed is 269.23 acres
