When a nursery owner orders plants from the distributor, 92% of the plants arrive alive. if the nursery owner wants their inventory of a particular plant to be 540 living plants, how many plants should the owner order?

You must make a proportion.

92% is part of 100%

540 would need to be the 92% of the plant bought. That means 540 is the part and the whole would be the unknown (let's make this x)

Set up your proportion like so...

Cross multiply...

92x = 540 * 100

92x = 54000

Isolate x by dividing 92 to both sides...

92x/92 = 54000/92

x = 586.9565

Since you can't buy a decimal of a plant you will have to round this number up to the next whole number...

587

To have 540 of the plants arrive alive the nursery owner must order 587 plants

Hope this helped!
