    2890

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2,890 meters^2 is grass

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First find the area of the garden

    Area of a rectangle can be found using:

    a=lw

    a=85*50

    a=4,250 meters^2

    We know that 32% of the area is flowers, so we can multiply 32% and 4250

    32%*4250

    Convert 32% to a decimal by dividing by 100

    32%/100=0.32

    0.32*4250=1360

    So, 1360 meters^2 is flowers.

    The rest must be grass, so we can find the difference between the total area and the flowers

    4250-1360=2890
