Question

A large botanical garden has a total of 500 trees, shrubs, and cacti.

According to this circle graph, how many cacti are in the garden?
25
125
190
250
Circle graph with three sections. Trees 38 percent, Cacti 25 percent, Shrubs 37 percent

Answer 1

C) 190

Explanation:

500/100 = 5x38=190

Answer 2

In order to calculate for the number of cacti in the garden, we simply multiply the total number of plants with the decimal equivalent of the cacti in the circle graph. That is,
number of cacti = (500 trees) x 0.25 = 125

Thus, the answer to this item is 125.
