Answer

The gardener should plant 60 seeds.

Work Step by Step

First, you must turn the problem into an equation. The problem is asking for a number times 0.75 (or 75%) that will equal 45. turning that into an actual equation would look like this: $x\times0.75=45$ then solve the equation and divide both sides by 0.75 $x=60$
