Question

In a garden there 500 plant of which 35 percent are trees 20 percent are shurbs 25 percent are herns and the rest are creepers find the number of each type of plants

Answer 1

1. Trees:
2. $\frac{35}{100} \times 500 = 175$
3. Shrubs:
4. $\frac{20}{100} \times 500 = 100$
5. Herns:
6. $\frac{25}{100} \times 500 = 125$

4. Creepers: 20% (100-80(35+25+20))

1. $\frac{20}{100} \times 500 = 100$

Then

$175 + 125 + 100 + 100 = 500$
