Question

Allie, Ben, and Cliff plant ceilings in the neighborhood park. Ali plans 40% of the total number of ceiling, then place 45% of the total number of seed wings, and Cliff plans the rest of the siblings. If Cliff +84 siblings how many seedling do the three boys play together

Answer 1

The number of seedlings the three boys planted together is 560 seedlings

Explanation:

The possible information in the question are;

Percentage of the seedlings planted by Ali = 40%

Percentage of the seedling planted by Ben = 45%

The percentage of the seedling planted by Cliff = The rest of the seedling

The number of seedling planted by Cliff = 84 siblings

Therefore, the percentage of the seedling planted by Cliff = 100% - 45% - 40% = 15%

Given that Cliff planted 15% of the seedlings, we have;

15% of seedlings Cliff planted = 84

Let X = the total number of seedlings

15/100 × X = 0.15×X = 84

X = 84/0.15 = 560

The total number of seedlings = The number of seedlings the three boys planted together = 560 seedlings.
