Question

If 100 pieces of pests is attacking an hectare of cocoa farm and 25% suddenly died while 40% of the remnant is sent for medical examination. What is the number of pest remaining?

Options

A)
45
B)
50
C)
25
D)
75

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

25% of 100 = 25 pests

∴ Number of remnants = 100 - 25 = 75 pests

40% of 75 = 30 pests

Total pest remaining = 100 - (25 + 30) = 100 - 55 = 45 pests
