Percentage - 7th. Grade.

In John’s farm 20% of the trees produce fruit. The farm has a total of 575 trees. How many produce fruits?
a. 105
b. 115
c. 125
d. 130

Answer: b

Method:
We use multiplication in order to find the total number of trees that produce fruit as follows:

0.20 x 575 = 115 trees

Note that 20% = 0.20. This is obtained by dividing 20 by 100.
