Answer:

Option A

Annette picked 50 roses from the garden

Explanation:

Let us understand the problem, designating letters to represent unknown quantities.

Let the total number of roses = x

20% of the roses were red means that 20% of x = red

Since the number of red roses = 10,

we will have that 20% of x = 10

mathematically, we will have


(20)/(100) * x = 10\\x= (1000)/(20)= 50

hence, Annette picked 50 roses from the garden
