Question

The sycamore grove contains 30 sycamore

trees. That's 75 percent of all the sycamore
trees in the park. How many sycamore trees
are in the park?
​

Answer 1

Let’s assume that the number of sycamore trees in the park is x. According to the problem statement, 30 sycamore trees make up 75% of all sycamore trees in the park. This can be expressed as:

30 = 0.75 * x

Solving for x, we get:

x = 30 / 0.75

x = 40

Therefore, there are 40 sycamore trees in the park.

Answer 2

40 sycamore trees

Explanation:

We can use the following equation to calculate the total number of sycamore trees in the park:

75% of Total sycamore tree = 30 sycamore tree

0.75 of Total sycamore tree = 30 sycamore tree

`\textsf{ Total sycamore tree = $\sf (30)/(0.75) $ sycamore tree}`

`\textsf{ Total sycamore tree = $\sf 40 $ sycamore tree}`

Therefore, there are 40 sycamore trees in the park.
