I NEED AN ANSWER PLEASE :(((

Answer 1

80 lemons

Explanation:

Let x represent the amount of lemons that were on the tree.

We can use this to set up an equation:

`40\%x=32`

Note that percentages can also be written as that number over 100.

`(40)/(100)x=32`

Simplify the fraction.

`(2)/(5)x=32`

Multiply both sides by 5

`2x=160`

Divide both sides by 2

`x=80`

There were 80 lemons on the tree before he picked the lemons.
