Work the application. Write a legend and an equation. Solve the equation and answer in a complete sentence.A community garden contains 25 rectangular plots each measuring 5 yards by 9 yards. What is the total area available for gardening?

A. Let a = the total area available for gardening.
a = 25 ? (5 ? 9)
The total area available for gardening is 700 square yards.
B. Let a = the total area available for gardening.
5 ? 9 = a
The total area available for gardening is 45 square yards.
C. Let a = the total area available for gardening.
25 ? (5 ? 9)= a
The total area available for gardening is 1125 square yards.
D. Let a = the total area available for gardening.
25 ? (5 ? 9)+ 25 = a
The total area available for gardening is 1150 square yards.
