Question

If 140 out of 170 seeds germinate in a germination test, what percentage of the seedsgerminated?

Answer 1

82.4% of the seeds germinated

Step-by-step explanation:

Seeds that germinated = 140

Total seeds = 170

To get the percentgae of seeds that germinated, we will divide the seeds that germinated by the total number of seeds. Then we'll multiply the result by 100

`percent\text{ of s}eeds\text{ that germinated = }(140)/(170)\text{ }*\text{ 100}`
`\begin{gathered} percent\text{ of s}eeds\text{ that germinated = }0.8235\text{ }*\text{ 100} \\ percent\text{ of s}eeds\text{ that germinated = 82.4\% (1 deciml place)} \end{gathered}`

82.4% of the seeds germinated
