5000-300=4700

The total no. of other plant is 4700

Answer 2

Answer:

The total number of other plants = 4700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total plants in the  nursery = 5000

Percentage of rose plant = 5%

Percentage of mango plant = 1%

To find,

The number of other plants

Solution

Since 5% of the plants are rose plants,

the number of rose plants = 5% of 5000

=$\frac{5}{100}$ ×5000

=250

The number of rose plants = 250

Since 1% of the plants are mango plants

the number of mango plants = 1% of 5000

= $\frac{1}{100}$ ×5000

=50

Number of mango plants = 50

Total number rose plants and mango plants = 250+50 = 300

Hence the number of other plants = 5000 - 300 = 4700

∴ The total number of other plants = 4700
