Answer 1

Let x number of trees be in the garden.

Letc c number of coconut trees be in the garden.

Let m number of mango trees be in the garden.

Let a number of apple trees be in the garden.

c/x x 100 = 60%

m/c x 100 = 25%

a/m x 100 = 20%

Given, there are 1500 apple trees in the garden i.e a=1500.

1500/m x 100 = 20%

m= ( 1500*100)/20 = 7500

Therefore, 7500/c x 100 = 25%

c=(7500*100)/25 = 30000

Therefore, 30000/x x 100 = 60%

x= (30000*100)/60 = 50000

Therefore, total number of trees in the garden are 50000.
