Answer:

35% of land is used for grazing.

Explanation:

It is given that:

Percent of land used to plant beans = 40%

Percent of land used to plant maize = 25%

Let,

x be the percent of land used for grazing.

100% be the total percent.

40% + 25% + x = 100%

65% + x = 100%

x = 100% - 65%

x = 35%

Thus,

35% of land is used for grazing.
