Expected Land Area to be Bought

Formula: Land Area in Sqm (X) x [The average of the maximum percentage of the building
(42%) from the land area of housing sector (B) and the maximum percentage of the building
(48%) from the land area of housing sector (C)] = Total built-up Area (Sqm)
X x [100 / ((42 + 48) / 2))] = 1,750
X x 100/45 = 1,750
X = 1,750 x 45/100
X = 78,750 /100
X = 787.50 sqm
