Question

there are 25 acres of land on a farm. the owners planted corn on 68 percent of the land. on how many acres did they not plant corn?

Answer 1

8 acres of land they did not plant the corn.

Explanation:

GIven:

There are 25 acres of land on a farm.

The owners planted corn on 68 percent of the land.

Now, to find the acres they did not plant the corn.

Total acres of land on the farm = 25 acres.

Rate of land owners planted the corn = 68%.

Now, to get the acres of land owners planted the corn:

`68\%\ of\ 25\\\\=(68)/(100) * 25\\\\=0.68* 25\\\\=17\ acres.`

Thus, 3.4 acres of land owners planted the corn.

Now, to get the acres land owners did not planted the corn we subtract the acres of land owners planted the corn from the total acres of land:

`25\ acres-17\ acres\\\\=8\ acres.`

Therefore, 8 acres of land they did not plant the corn.
