Answer:
There are 625 trees in the park.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that there are x trees in the park
∵ The number of trees in the park = x
∵ 27% of them are oaks
∵ 16% are pins
∵ 33% of them are banyans
∵ The remaining are willows
→ The percentage of the total number of trees is 100%
∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - (27 + 16 + 33)%
∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - 76%
∴ The percent of the remaining = 24%
∵ The number of willows trees = 150
∴ 24% of x = 150
∴ 24% × x = 150
→ Change the percent to a decimal by divide it by 100
∵ 24% = [tex]\frac{24}{100}[/tex] = 0.24
∴ 0.24 × x = 150
∴ 0.24x = 150
→ Divide both sides by 0.24
∴ x = 625
∴ There are 625 trees at the park.
