The total area can be found with L x W. 85 x 50 is 4,250.
32% of the area is flowers. So find 32% of 4,250.. which is 1,360. (4,250 x .32 = 1,360)
That’s the flowers. But we want the grass, which is everything else. So subtract 4,250 by 1,360.... 2,890 is the final answer.

Another way to solve this is by immediately seeing which percent is grass. If 32% if flowers, that must mean 68% is grass.
68% of 4,250 is 2,890.
