Question

As one of the groundskeepers at Gardens, Tim planted 86 myrtle trees along both sides of the entrance driveway. Of the trees he planted, about 34% had white flowers and the rest had pink flowers. How many of the trees that Tim planted had white flowers?

A. 29
B. 40
C. 52
D. 57

Answer 1

Option A : 29 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of trees planted by Tim = 86

Percent of trees with white flowers = 34%

Number of trees = 34% of 86

Number of trees =
`(34)/(100)*86`

Number of trees = 0.34 * 86

Number of trees = 29.24

Rounding to nearest whole number

Number of trees = 29

Hence,

Option A : 29 is the correct answer.
