Question

Of six Kokomuka (Hebe Elliptica) seedlings, four have survived the winter.

What percentage of the seedlings survived?

Answer 1

66.7%

Explanation:

The number of seedlings planted is 6, while the number of seedlings that survived the winter is 4. Therefore the percentage of seedlings that survived can be gotten using the formula:

Percentage of seedlings survived = (survived seedlings / total seedlings planted) * 100%

Therefore substituting values gives:

Percentage of seedlings survived = (4 / 6) * 100% = 66.7%
