So the number of pine trees is $\"5x\"$ and the number of hardwood trees is $\"7x\"$ which gives the ratio of $\"%285x%29%2F%287x%29=5%2F7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So together the total number of trees is $\"5x%2B7x=12x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The percentage of pine trees would be $\"%28%285x%29%2F%2812x%29%29%2A100=500%2F12=41.7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The percentage of hardwood trees would be $\"%28%287x%29%2F%2812x%29%29%2A100=700%2F12=58.3\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
