Answer:
216 Wisteria plants
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the total number of plants
x = (total flowers) ÷ (flowers dropped by each plants)
Substitute the values given in the question
x = 6^8 ÷ 6^5
x = 6^(8-5) <= exponent rule: when dividing exponents with the same base, subtract.
x = 6^3 <= answer expressed as a power
x = 6*6*6
x = 216 <= answer expressed as most simplified
Therefore, the park has 216 wisteria plants.
