Answer:

Option A : 29 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of trees planted by Tim = 86

Percent of trees with white flowers = 34%

Number of trees = 34% of 86

Number of trees = [tex]\frac{34}{100}*86[/tex]

Number of trees = 0.34 * 86

Number of trees = 29.24

Rounding to nearest whole number

Number of trees = 29

Hence,

Option A : 29 is the correct answer.
