What percentage of the trees are oak trees?

Answer 1

200/1250= 16%

Explanation:

200/(200+650+400)

2001250= 16%

Answer 2

The percentage of oak trees is 16%.

Explanation:

Given,

Number of oak trees = 200

Number of silver breech trees = 650

Number of wild cherry trees = 400

So,

Total number of trees = 200+650+400 = 1250

To find the percentage of oak trees.

Now,

The percentage of oak trees =
`(200)/(1250)` × 100%

= 16%

Hence,

The percentage of oak trees is 16%.
