A group of students wants to help the monarch butterfly. The students are planting way stations in their neighborhoods. Each way station needs 10 plants, and only 65 percent of the seeds they plant are likely to sprout. If they want to make 15 way stations, how many seeds do they need to plant? Round your answer to the nearest whole seed.
+23251 If each way station needs 10 plants and 65% of the seeds planted sprout, to find the number of seeds need to produce 10 plants:
0.65 · Number = 10
---> Number = 10 / 0.65 = 15.4 = 16 seeds
For 15 way stations: 15 x 16 seeds = 240 seeds
