Blaire walked around her garden in the morning and saw that 18 of her tomato plants had tomatoes ready to pick. If this was 90% of her tomato plants, how many tomato plants does Blaire have altogether?

Respuesta :

absor201

Blaire has 20 tomato plants altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Tomatoes plants ready to pick = 18

This represents 90% of total tomato plants.

Let,

x be the original number of tomato plants.

90% of x = 18

[tex]\frac{90}{100}*x=18[/tex]

[tex]0.9x=18[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.9

[tex]\frac{0.9x}{0.9}=\frac{18}{0.9}[/tex]

[tex]x=20[/tex]

Blaire has 20 tomato plants altogether.
