d. Show your solution
X = 40 x 75%
X = 40 x 0.75
X = 30
or
X = 40 x 75
X = 3,000 ÷ 100
X = 30
30 pupils are Math Lovers
2. Mrs. Mendoza has 50 orchid plants. Thirty five percent are Catleya orchid plants. How many of 50 orchid plants are Catleya.
a. What is asked ?
How many of 50 orchid plants are Catleya
b. What are the given facts ?
