Consider a typical field-corn plant that makes one ear. Ears
contain about 600 kernels, each of which is fertilized by an
individual pollen grain. Male flowers clustered in the tassel at
the top of the plant release about 10 million pollen grains per
plant. Using these numbers, what percentage of corn pollen is
wasted?

Express your answer using three decimal places and include
the appropriate units.
