Answer 1

There are a total of 90 trees in Citrus Grove.

36 of them are orange trees.

Then the percent of the orange trees is given by

`(36)/(90)*100\%=40\%`

Divide the number of orange trees by the total number of trees and then multiply the answer by 100.

Therefore, 40% of the trees grow oranges.
