Last summer, 37% of a farmer’s cherry tree crop was destroyed from a rare tree virus. If the farmer had 2,700 cherry trees at the beginning of the season, how many trees remain?
A. 999
B. 1701
C. 790
D. 970
B. 1701
Explanation: Percent of trees still alive = 100 – 37 = 63
Now find 63% of 2,700, so 2,700 x .63 = 1701
