Question

20% of the rose Annette picked from a rose garden were red if she picked 10 red roses how many roses did she pick from the garden A:50 B:40 C:30 D:20

Answer 1

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
