Answer:

Alicia planted 44% more tulips this year

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to divide 65 by 45 to find the ratio of tulips between the years

Then, we take that number, which is 1.4444, and subtract one from it since percents usually aren't over 100%.

So we have 0.444

Multiply by 100 to turn it into a percent

gives you 44.444%

round down

44%

Answer:

44.44444%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage calculator explains it easily, so next time you can just search up how to do it. It has helped me a lot with these kinds of problems.

We know that 100%=45 as a percentage.

What we want to find is x%=20, or what percent of 45 is 20?

First, we have to divide 100 by x and 45 by 20.

100/x=45/20

Taking the reciprocal, or flipping both fractions, gives us the answer

x/100=20/45

x=44.44444

Hope this helps! (Brainliest please!)
