    Plants: 240

    Ferns: 60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation would be. 8x-180=.2x

    Simplified would be

    .6x=180

    Divide 180 by. 6 you get 300 which is the total. Then you multiply 300 by. 8 which gives you 240 and plug that into the equation would be 240-180 giving you 60 ferns which is also 20%
