Answer:
The workers had planted 65 dogwood trees today.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of dogwood trees currently in the park =23
Total number of dogwood trees in the park after the work was finished = 88
We need to find the number of dogwood trees workers planted today.
Solution:
Now we can say that;
Let the number of dogwood trees workers planted today be [tex]'x'[/tex].
So we can say that;
Total number of dogwood trees in the park after the work was finished is equal to sum of Number of dogwood trees currently in the park and number of dogwood trees workers planted today.
framing in equation form we get;
[tex]88=23+x\\\\x=88-23\\\\x= 65[/tex]
Hence The workers had planted 65 dogwood trees today.
