Question 1195002
.
In a community garden, the ratio of tomato plants to pepper plants is 1:3, 
and the ratio of pepper plants to pea plants is 8:1. 
There are 6 pea plants in the garden. Next year, there will be 25% more 
pepper plants in the garden. If each plant yields 4 peppers, how many peppers will there be?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The number of pea plant is 6 (given).


Hence, the number of pepper plants is 8 times as many, i.e. 48.


Next year, will be 48 + {{{(1/4)*48}}} = 48 + 12 = 60 pepper plants in the garden.


Hence, the number of peppers will be  (or is expected to be)  4*60 = 240 next year.    <U>ANSWER</U>
