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

40% are veggies....they have 50 plants
40% of 50 = 0.40(50) = 20....so 20 are veggies
60% of 50 = 0.60(50) = 30...and 30 are flowers
