Question

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013 the farm's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1% from 2014 to 2015. Which expression represents a strategy for estimating the total output of wheat, in tons, in 2015?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the options

A 20+10+5

B 20(10)(5)

c 20+1.1+1.05

D 20(1.1)(1.05)

total output of wheat in a given year = total tons of wheat the previous year x ( 1 + rate of increase of wheat)

Total growth in 2013 = 1.098 x 19.8 = 20 tons

total growth in 2014 = 20 tons x (1 + 0.098) = 20 x 1.1

total growth in 2015 = 20 x 1.1 x 1.05
