Explanation:

Given: Herky found that 8 out of every 100 beans in his garden were nibbled by rabbits.

To Find: how many beans can he expect to be damaged if there are 450 beans in his garden?

Solution:

We are given that 8 out of every 100 beans in his garden were nibbled by rabbits.

Let no. of beans nibbled if there are 450 beans.

So. A.T.Q

`(8)/(100) =(x)/(450)`
