Emily's family loves to work together in the garden. They have a slight preference for flowers, as 60% of their plants are flowers and 40% are vegetables. They have 50 plants growing in the garden. How many vegetable plants do they have?

60% of their plants are flowers and 40% are vegetables
so ratio = 6:4

50/ 10 = 5

6x5 = 30
4x5 = 20

answer: 40% are vegetables of 50 plants = 20
