Question

In an orchard 16 2/3 % of the trees are apple trees If the no of
trees in the orchard is 240 , find the no of other types of trees
in the orchard?

Lalit Mehra · Accepted Answer

Given, Percentage of apple trees in an orchard = $16 \frac{2}{3} %$

Total number of trees = 240

Number of apple trees in the orchard

$= 16 \frac{2}{3} % of 240 = \frac{50}{3} % of 240 = \frac{50}{300} \times 240 = 40$

Number of apples trees in the orchard + Number of other type of trees in the orchard = 240

∴ 40 + Number of other type of trees in the orchard = 240

⇒ Number of other type of trees in the orchard = 240 – 40 = 200

Thus, the number of other type of trees in the orchard is 200.

In an orchard 16 2/3 % of the trees are apple trees. If the no. of trees in the orchard is 240 , find the no. of other types of trees in the orchard?
