Question

Dave is sowing tomato seeds. But not all the Seeds start to grow. He realizes that for every 100 seeds he sows, only about 80 germinate. Dave sows 25 tomato seeds. How many would you expect to germinate? Explain your reasoning​

Answer 1

Based on Dave's experience, we can expect about 80% of the seeds he sows to germinate. That means that if he sows 25 seeds, we would expect about 20 seeds to germinate. This is because 80% of 25 is 20.
