In a garden 30% of the plants are carrots. If 63 plants are not carrots, how many of the plants are carrots.
Must show each step.


Sagot :

Answer: 27 see my work

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that 30% are carrots, meaning that 70% are not carrots (30% + 70% = 100%)

2. Since 70% and 63 of the plants are not carrots, we know that 63 = 70%

3. We need to find 30% of the plants (all of the carrots) so let’s divide 63 by 7

63 = 70%

*divide both by 7*

9 = 10%

4. We know that 9 plants is equivalent to 10% of the plants, so let’s multiply by 3 to get the number of carrots

9 = 10%

*multiply by 3*

27 = 30%

There are 27 carrots
