Blaire has 20 tomato plants altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Tomatoes plants ready to pick = 18

This represents 90% of total tomato plants.

Let,

x be the original number of tomato plants.

90% of x = 18

$\frac{90}{100}*x=18$

$0.9x=18$

Dividing both sides by 0.9

$\frac{0.9x}{0.9}=\frac{18}{0.9}$

$x=20$

Blaire has 20 tomato plants altogether.
