Question

I’m terrible at percents so ...... if anybody can help that would be nice :))

Answer 1

There are 625 trees in the park.

Explanation:

Assume that there are x trees in the park

∵ The number of trees in the park = x

∵ 27% of them are oaks

∵ 16% are pins

∵ 33% of them are banyans

∵ The remaining are willows

→ The percentage of the total number of trees is 100%

∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - (27 + 16 + 33)%

∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - 76%

∴ The percent of the remaining = 24%

∵ The number of willows trees = 150

∴ 24% of x = 150

∴ 24% × x = 150

→ Change the percent to a decimal by divide it by 100

∵ 24% =
`(24)/(100)` = 0.24

∴ 0.24 × x = 150

∴ 0.24x = 150

→ Divide both sides by 0.24

∴ x = 625

∴ There are 625 trees at the park.
