Banjo · Answer 1

80

Step-by-step explanation:

we search for a square number so that rows*plantsInARow gives us the number

The number should be around 50², guessed

50² = 2500 (to low)

51² = 2601 (still to low)

52² = 2704 (bingo)

now to get from 2624 to 2704 plants he needs 80 more. That is the least number.

He could also go to plant 60² plants an than need slot more.
