Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. The size of a bathroom is 96 sq ft. If the width of the bathroom is 8 feet and the owner wants to extend it by 2 feet on each side, what is the new area of the bathroom?
The original length of the bathroom is 96 sq ft / 8 ft = 12 ft. The new length of the bathroom is 12ft + 2 ft = 14 ft. The new width of the bathroom is 8 ft + 2 ft = 10 ft. The new area of the bathroom is 14ft x 10 ft = 140 sq ft.
The final answer: 140.
