4. Mario planted a total of 150 eggplant and pepper seedlings. If he planted 50% more pepper seedlings than the eggplants, how many pepper seedlings did he
plant?

225 pepper seedlings.

Step-by-step explanation:

WAY 1: common sense

half of 150 is 75

75 + 150 = 225

WAY 2: % of number

convert % to decimals (/100)

0.5 x 150 = 75

150 + 75 = 225

13.33%

say 50 oranges, then 100 apples

80 are red, 20 are yellow

total fruit = 150

20chances out of 150 for yellow

20/150 = 13.33%
