A rectangular garden measures 12 feet by 8 feet. If a square fountain with sides of 3 feet is placed in the center of the garden, what is the area of the garden remaining for planting?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
Area of garden = 12 * 8 = 96 sq ft. Area of fountain = 3 * 3 = 9 sq ft. Remaining area = 96 - 9 = 87 sq ft.
