Question

in a forest 6% trees were cut and 282 survive calculate the no. of trees killed

Answer 1

if 6% were cut then,

trees survived = 100 - 6 = 94%

let total trees be x

so, 94% of x = 282

94x/100 = 282

x = 28200/94

x = 300

total trees were 300 and number of trees killed = 18

Answer 2

its 300 as according to question 94% of x= 282, so x = 282/94*100 = 300
