For an agricultural experiment, 500 seeds were planted in one plot and 200 were planted in a second plot. If exactly 30 percent of the seeds in the first plot germinated and exactly 50 percent of the seeds in the second plot germinated, what percent of the total number of seeds germinated?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 35.7%

D) 30.8%
E) 60%
From the first plot 0.30*500=

<output>150</output>
150;   From the second plot  0.50*200= 
<gadget id="calculator"> 0.50*200</gadget>
<output>100</output>
100;   Total percent= (150+100)/(500+200) = 0.357.   35.7%nswer: 35.7%.
