Q. An arborist examined trees in an orchard to see if they were infected with a virus. 4242 out of 8484 trees were infected with the virus. What percentage of the trees were infected?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%).\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify Total Trees: Step 11: Identify the total number of trees and the number of infected trees.\newlineTotal trees = 8484, Infected trees = 4242.
  2. Calculate Percentage: Step 22: Calculate the percentage of infected trees.\newlinePercentage = (Infected treesTotal trees)×100(\frac{\text{Infected trees}}{\text{Total trees}}) \times 100\newlinePercentage = (4284)×100(\frac{42}{84}) \times 100
  3. Simplify Calculation: Step 33: Simplify the calculation.\newline4284=0.5\frac{42}{84} = 0.5\newline0.5×100=50%0.5 \times 100 = 50\%
