When Derek planted a tomato plant, he expected to be picking his first ripe tomato in 45 days. His estimate was 25% less than the actual time. How long did it take before Derek picked his first ripe tomato?

Respuesta :

Answer:

60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual time be x, then:

x - 0.25x = 45

0.75x = 45

x = 45/0.75

= 60 days.
