In The autumn 40% of the leaves on a tree are yellow and 24% of them are green the remaining 72 leaves are half yellow how many

Charra [1.4K]

Percentage of yellow leaves on a tree during Autumn = 40%

Percentage of green leaves on a tree during Autumn = 24%

Percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn :

$= \tt100 - 40 + 24$

$= \tt 100 - 64$

$= \tt 36 \%$ Thus, the percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn = 36%

Number of half yellow leaves on the tree = 36%

Let the total number of leaves on the tree be x.

Which means :

$= \tt36 \% \: of \: x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36}{100} \times x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36 \times x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt 36x = 72 \times 100$

$= \tt36x = 7200$

$= \tt x = \frac{7200}{36}$

$\color{plum} = \tt \: x = 200$

Thus, total number of leaves on the tree = 200

Number of yellow leaves on the tree :

$= \tt40 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{40}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{40 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{8000}{100}$

$\color{plum} \tt = 80 \: yellow \: \: leaves$

Thus, total number of yellow leaves on the tree = 80

Number of green trees on the tree :

$= \tt24 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{24}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{24 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{4800}{100}$

$\color{plum} = \tt 48 \: green \: \: leaves$

Thus, the total number of green leaves on the tree = 48

Since the sum of all types of leaves form 200[80+48+72=200], we can conclude that we have found out the correct number of each type of leaf.

▪︎Therefore, <em>the total number of leaves on the tree = 200</em>
