Can you help me with my math homework?

on a package of pansy seeds, it says that about 1/2% of the seed package was weed seeds. if there are 2 weed seeds in the packahe, how many pansy seeds are there?



thanks

Can you help me with my math homework?
Let x be the number of pansy seeds



1/2% or 0.005x = 2



x = 400 pansy seeds per package.

.
Reply:Perhaps if you quit smoking the weed, you could do your own homework.
Reply:1/2% = 1/200

so if there are two weed seeds there are 400 seeds in total making 398 pansy seeds.
