Question

Out of 400 plants sold daily at a nursery, 90% of them have flowers. How many of the

plants have flowers?

A. 40

B. 90

C. 310

D. 360
10 points.

Answer 1

Answer: D; 360

Step-by-step explanation: To find percentages, I like to set up proportional relationships to find the amount. It would look like this:

`(90)/(100)` =
`(?)/(400)`

90= part %

100= whole %

?= amount of the %

400= all of the item(s)

So, we would cross multiply the 90 and the 400, then divide it by 100. That would be 36,000. So, that divided by 100 leaves us with 360. I hope this helped!
