Assuming that the plant cell is a sphere of about 25 micrometer in radius, you can estimate the volume = 6.5 x 10-14 m3

Assuming that mitochondria are spherical as well (which is not true, but we're estimating things here), their diameter is about 1.5 micrometers

Volume = 1.8 x 10-18 m3

Now, dividing the plant cell volume by the mitochondrium volume gives roughly 36,000 mitochondria.
