Question

65% of the trees in a park are pine trees.There are 26 maple trees in the park. What is the total amount of trees in the entire park


This is working with propertions
I need help ASAP

Answer 1

I am guessing the 26 trees makes up the other 35% right?

Answer 2

Considering that the park only have pine trees and maple trees:
If pine trees are 65%, maple trees are 35% (to complete 100%).
So, 35% = 26
You have to use proportions:
\[35 \to 26\]\[100 \to x\]\[35x = 2600\]\[x=74,28\]
There's something wrong...
