Herky found that 8 out of every 100 beans in his garden were nibbled by rabbits. How many beans can he expect to be damaged if there are 450 beans in his garden?

The damaged fraction is 8 out of 100, or 8%. Find 8% of 450: 0.08 × 450 = 36. Herky can expect 36 beans to be damaged, so the correct choice is 36 beans.
