Question
In a farm, 55% of the plants are tomato plants. The number
of chili plants is 40% of the tomato plants, and the number of onion plants is 75% of the number of chili plants. If the number of onion plants is 180, what is the total number of plants on the farm?Solution
ATQ,
Let total number of plants on the farm be 100x
Number of tomato plants = 0.55 × 100x = 55x
Number of chili plants = 0.40 × 55x = 22x
Number of onion plants = 0.75 × 22x = 16.5x
So, 16.5x = 180
x = 10.91 (approx)
Total number of plants on the farm = 100x = 1091
