Question

Emily's family loves to work together

Answer 1

Answer:

They have 18 vegetable plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Emily's family loves to work together  in the garden.

They have a. preference for flowers as 80% of  their plants are flowers and the rest  are vegetables.

They have 90 plants  in the garden.

Now, to find the number of vegetable plants.

Total plants in the garden = 90.

80% of the plants are flowers.

So, number of plants which are flowers = 80% of 90.

$=\frac{80}{100} \times 90$

$=\frac{7200}{100}$

$=72\ plants.$

The number of flower plants = 72.

Total plants = 90 (given)

So, to get the number of vegetable plants we subtract:

$90-72=18\ plants.$

Thus, vegetable plants = 18.

Therefore, they have 18 vegetable plants.
