Twenty percent of the trees in the orchard are orange trees. If there are 50 orange trees, what is the total number of trees in the orchard?

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of orange trees = 50

Percentage of orange trees in orchard = 20%

So, lets take the total no. of trees be = x

So, according to question: 20% of x = 50

= 20/100 × x = 50

= 1/5x = 50

= x = 50 / 0.2 = 250

So, total number of trees in the orchard = 250
