      In a tree plantation, 62% of the trees are pine trees. The

      number of oak trees is 45% of the pine trees, and the number of maple trees is 66% of the oak trees. If there are 148.5 maple trees, determine the total number of trees in the plantation.
      A 806 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 620 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let total number of trees in the plantation be 100x

      Number of pine trees = 0.62 Γ— 100x = 62x

      Number of oak trees = 0.45 Γ— 62x = 27.9x

      Number of maple trees = 0.66 Γ— 27.9x = 18.414x

      So, 18.414x = 148.5

      x = 8.06 (approx)

      Total number of trees in the plantation = 100x = 806
