Answer:
4.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
to do this create a ratio and cross-multiply
[tex]\frac{60}{1240} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]
now that we have a our ratio, where x = the percent of poisonous trees, we can cross-multiply and solve to find its value
cross-multiplying leaves you with
[tex]1240x=6000[/tex]
now solve for x, dividing both sides of your equation by 1240
once you've divided, you should be left with
[tex]4.8[/tex]
since this number is already out of 100, it is equivalent to your percent, so slap a percent sign on the end and you're done!
