Question

A survey of 1250 trees in a small wood showed that 32 percent were oak trees 26 percent were birch trees and the remainder were pine trees how many pine trees were there

Answer 1

Answer: There were 525 pine trees.

Explanation:

Given: Total trees = 1250

Percentage of oak trees = 32%

Percentage of birch trees = 26%

Since remaining trees are pine trees.

Percentage of pine trees = 100% - 32% - 26%

=42%

The number of pine trees = 42% of 1250

= 0.42 ×1250

= 525

Hence, there were 525 pine trees.
