Jasmine hoped to get 100 pumpkins from her garden this year. Since the weather was favorable,20% more pumpkins grew than she expected. Unfortunately, animals ate 30% of all the pumpkins that grew. How many pumpkins were left? Is the final number of pumpkins more than or less than she hoped

Sagot :

Number of pumpkin expected = 100

Extra pumpkin due to favourable weather

= 20% of 100

= (20/100) × 100

= 20

So, new number of pumpkin = 100 + 20 = 120

Pumpkin eaten by animals

= 30% of 120

= (30/100) × 120

= 36

So, final number of pumpkin = 120 - 36 = 84

Final number of pumpkins is less than she expected.
