Answer:

16

Explanation:

To be able to find the number of thistles that are in the vacant lot now using the information provided, you have to calculate the 75% of 64 and then, subtract that number from 64:

64*0.75=48

64-48=16

According to this, the answer is that there are 16 thistles in the vacant lot now.
