2. How many tomatoes were green?
Please answer both of the questions and explain!! This is due tomorrow. Help would be very appreciated

Answer 1

An entire amount is 100%.
If 60% of an amount is green, then 40% of the amount is not green.
The entire amount here is 20.

1.
Tomatoes that were not green: 40% of 20 = 40% * 20 = 0.40 * 20 = 8

2. 20 - 8 = 12
12 tomatoes were green.
