Question

8% of the saplings planted in a forest area did not survive the winter. In total 1150 saplings were found alive. How many saplings did not survive?

Answer 1

Answer: 92

Step-by-step explanation:

1% = 11.5

11.5 x 8 = 92

Answer 2

`\bold{ANSWER:}`
100 saplings


`\bold{SOLUTION:}`

To find out how many saplings did not survive, we need to calculate 8% of the total number of saplings planted.

Let's assume the total number of saplings planted is represented by "x".

8% of the saplings did not survive, which means 92% (100% - 8%) of the saplings did survive.

Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

0.92x = 1150

To find "x", we divide both sides of the equation by 0.92:

x = 1150 / 0.92
X≈ 1250

So, the total number of saplings planted was approximately 1250.

To find out how many saplings did not survive, we can calculate 8% of 1250:

0.08 * 1250 = 100

Therefore, 100 saplings did not survive.
