Q

How would you zone a shop?

A

firstly you would divide the shop up into varying zones with zone A being at the front of the shop. This is the most valuable part.

The halfling back principle from each zone as the further you go back the less valuable the shop floor is.

Each zone is 6.1m in depth until you come to the reminder.
Work out the the size of each zone and its relativity to calculate the floor area ITZA.
