Question 3 of 3
A gardener has 4 rows of tomato plants. Each row originally has 9 plants. The gardener removes 5 wilted plants from each row and then plants the same number of new seedlings in each row so that each row again has the original number of plants. How many new seedlings does the gardener plant in total? A student solved it as follows: 1. Total plants at the start: 4 × 9 = 36. 2. Subtract the wilted plants: 36 – 5 = 31. 3. Add the new seedlings: 31 + 5 = 36. Therefore, the student says the gardener planted 5 new seedlings. Which of the following is the correct total number of new seedlings the gardener actually planted?
