Math Problem Statement

If 25% of these are apple trees, 62.5% are lemon trees, and the rest are mango trees, then find the number of each type of tree in the garden.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need the total number of trees in the garden. Let's break this into steps:

  1. Assume the total number of trees in the garden is NN.
  2. 25%25\% of the trees are apple trees, so the number of apple trees is: Apple trees=0.25×N\text{Apple trees} = 0.25 \times N
  3. 62.5%62.5\% of the trees are lemon trees, so the number of lemon trees is: Lemon trees=0.625×N\text{Lemon trees} = 0.625 \times N
  4. The remaining percentage will be for mango trees: 100%(25%+62.5%)=12.5%100\% - (25\% + 62.5\%) = 12.5\% Hence, the number of mango trees is: Mango trees=0.125×N\text{Mango trees} = 0.125 \times N

The final answer depends on NN. If you provide the total number of trees, I can calculate the exact number of each type.

Would you like to provide the total number, or should I explain further? Here are some follow-up questions for you:

  1. What is the total number of trees in the garden?
  2. Should I proceed with calculations assuming N=100N = 100 (a standard assumption)?
  3. Do you need percentages explained in more detail?
  4. Would you like this calculation expressed in a different format (e.g., as fractions)?
  5. Is there a specific step you would like clarified in more depth?

Tip: Percentages can always be converted to decimals for calculations (e.g., 25%=0.2525\% = 0.25).
