Solution: Space to be left as open = 60% of 2400 square ft. = 2400 * 60/100 = 1440 sq. ft. Space left for display = 2400 - 1440 = 960 sq ft. Size of each display = 10 ft * 4 ft = 40 sq. ft Number of displays that can be fitted in the store = Space left for display / size of display = 960 / 40 = 24 24 displays can be put up in the store.
