Respuesta :
Percentage of yellow leaves on a tree during Autumn = 40%
Percentage of green leaves on a tree during Autumn = 24%
Percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn :
[tex] = \tt100 - 40 + 24[/tex]
[tex] = \tt 100 - 64[/tex]
[tex] = \tt 36 \%[/tex]Thus, the percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn = 36%
Number of half yellow leaves on the tree = 36%
Let the total number of leaves on the tree be x.
Which means :
[tex] = \tt36 \% \: of \: x = 72[/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{36}{100} \times x = 72[/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{36 \times x}{100} = 72[/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{36x}{100} = 72[/tex]
[tex] = \tt 36x = 72 \times 100[/tex]
[tex] = \tt36x = 7200[/tex]
[tex] = \tt x = \frac{7200}{36} [/tex]
[tex] \color{plum} = \tt \: x = 200[/tex]
Thus, total number of leaves on the tree = 200
Number of yellow leaves on the tree :
[tex] = \tt40 \% \: \: of \: \: 200[/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{40}{100} \times 200[/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{40 \times 200}{100} [/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{8000}{100} [/tex]
[tex] \color{plum} \tt = 80 \: yellow \: \: leaves[/tex]
Thus, total number of yellow leaves on the tree = 80
Number of green trees on the tree :
[tex] = \tt24 \% \: \: of \: \: 200[/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{24}{100} \times 200 [/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{24 \times 200}{100} [/tex]
[tex] = \tt \frac{4800}{100} [/tex]
[tex] \color{plum} = \tt 48 \: green \: \: leaves[/tex]
Thus, the total number of green leaves on the tree = 48
Since the sum of all types of leaves form 200[80+48+72=200], we can conclude that we have found out the correct number of each type of leaf.
▪︎Therefore, the total number of leaves on the tree = 200
The number of leaves is on the tree is 200.
Given that,
- There is 40% of the leaves that should be yellow.
- 24% of them should be green.
- And, the remaining should be 72 leaves that represent half yellow.
Now as per the above explanation:
- The percentage of half yellow trees should be
= 100 - 40 + 24
= 100 - 64
= 36
Here we assume the number of leaves on the tree be x
So,
36% of x = 72
x = 200
Therefore we can conclude that the number of leaves is on the tree is 200.
