Question

Bianca planted seeds to grow zinnias, sunflowers, and marigolds. After several weeks, 18 out of 50 zinnia seeds, 12 out of 30 sunflower seeds, and 14 out of 40 marigold seeds grew into plants. Drag the names of the plants in order from the least percentage of plants that grew to the greatest percentage of plants that grew.

Answer 1

% of zinnia seed that grew was 18/50(100)= 36%
% of sunflower seeds that grew = 12/30(100)= 40%
% of marigold seeds that grew = 14/40(100) = 31.8 %
Therefore, in order of the percentage that grew;
Sunflower has the highest %, followed by zinnia seeds and lastly the marigold seed
