Question

Mari bought 6 packets of tomato seeds. Each

packet contained 24 seeds. She planted 1 packet
of the seeds, and 15 seeds sprouted.
Which statement about the seeds in the remaining
packets is best supported by this information?
A No more than 50 sees will sprout
B Between 50 and 100 seeds will sprout
C At least 100 but no more than 120 seeds will
sprout
D All 120 seeds will sprout

Answer 1

The correct option is B. Between 50 and 100 seeds will sprout

Explanation:

Number of packets of tomato seeds = 6

Number of seeds in one packet = 24 seeds

Total number of seeds in 6 packets = 6 × 24

= 144 seeds

Number of seeds sprouted from 1 packet = 15 seeds

Number of seeds sprouted from 6 packets = 6 × 15

= 90 seeds

This number is between 50 and 100.

Therefore, The correct option is B. Between 50 and 100 seeds will sprout

Answer 2

Mari bought 6 packages of tomato seeds and each package contains 24 seeds then
Seeds = (6) * (24) = 144.
Mari has a total of 144 seeds.
Mari planted a pack of seeds and has 15 germinated seeds.
144-24-15 = 105
Mari then has 105 seeds left.
Answer
C At least 100 but no more than 120 seeds will sprout
