82.4% of the seeds germinated
Explanation:Seeds that germinated = 140
Total seeds = 170
To get the percentgae of seeds that germinated, we will divide the seeds that germinated by the total number of seeds. Then we'll multiply the result by 100
[tex]percent\text{ of s}eeds\text{ that germinated = }\frac{140}{170}\text{ }\times\text{ 100}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} percent\text{ of s}eeds\text{ that germinated = }0.8235\text{ }\times\text{ 100} \\ percent\text{ of s}eeds\text{ that germinated = 82.4\% (1 deciml place)} \end{gathered}[/tex]82.4% of the seeds germinated
