Lloyd · Answer 1

Mari bought 6 packages of tomato seeds and each package contains 24 seeds then

Seeds = (6) * (24) = 144.

Mari has a total of 144 seeds.

Mari planted a pack of seeds and has 15 germinated seeds.

144-24-15 = 105

Mari then has 105 seeds left.

Answer

C At least 100 but no more than 120 seeds will sprout
