Question

In a garden there are 2500 plants. Out of them 36% are shrubs, 25% are herbs and the rest are trees. How many trees are there?

Answer 1

the answer is 925 trees as when we convert 36% to a whole number we get 900 shrubs. when we convert 25% to a whole number we get 675 herbs. now we add them   900
                  +675
              ------------------
                   1575
              ------------------
now we have to subtract 2500-1575= 925
 .
. . the answer is 925
