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

Answer:

20 vegetable plants

Explanation:

We must multiply the 40% (representing the amount of vegetable plants) by 50 (the total number of plants) to get 20 vegetable plants.

Alternatively, you could do 50 - (50 * 60%).
