Question

Emily's family loves to work together in the garden. They have a slight preference for flowers, as %60, percent of their plants are flowers and %40, percent are vegetables. They have 50 plants growing in the garden. How many vegetable plants do they have?

Answer 1

Your answer is 20 vegetable plants. To answer this, you just need to find 40% of 50, as 40% of their total plants are vegetables. You can do this by dividing 50 by 10 to get 5, which is 10%, and then multiplying 5 by 4 to get 20, which is 40%.
I hope this helps!
