Question

A nursery has 5000 plants, $5\%$ of the plants are roses and $1\%$ are mango plants. What is the total number of other plants? [2 MARKS]

Answer 1

Concept : 1 Mark
Calculation : 1 Mark

We have,

Total number of plants = 5000

Number of rose plants
$=5\%of5000=(\frac{5}{100}\times 5000)=250$

Number of mango plants
$=1\%of5000=(\frac{1}{100}\times 5000)=50$

$\therefore$ Number of other plants = 5000 - (250 + 50) = 4700
