Answer 1

Answer:

Number of strawberry plants not infested with bugs = 24

Explanations:

The number of Strawberry planted by Mrs. Torres = 30

20% of the plants were infested with bugs in April

Number of Strawberry infested with bugs = 20% of Strawberry planted

Number of Strawberry infested with bugs = 20% of 30

Number of Strawberry infested with bugs = (20/100) x 30

Number of Strawberry infested with bugs = 0.2 x 30

Number of Strawberry infested with bugs = 6

Number of Strawberry not infested = Total Strawberry - Number of strawberry infested

Number of Strawberry not infested = 30 - 6

Number of Strawberry not infested = 24
