✽ Question ✽
A coffee farm yielded 800 tonnes in 2013. Due to drought in year 2014, yields dropped by 30%. How many tonnes of coffee were harvested in year 2014?
✽ Given ✽
- A coffee farm yielded 800 tonnes in 2013.
- Due to drought in year 2014, yields dropped by 30%.
✽ To find ✽
How many tonnes of coffee were harvested in year 2014?
✽ Solution ✽
Coffee yielded in 2013 = 800 tonnes
Reduction in coffee yield
= 30% of (coffee yielded in 2013)
= 30% of 800 tonnes
= (30/100 × 800) tonnes
= (30 × 8) tonnes
= 240 tonnes
So, coffee yielded in 2014
= (800 - 240) tonnes
= 560 tonnes
✽ Hence ✽
Coffee yielded in 2014 = 560 tonnes
✽ Therefore ✽
560 tonnes of coffee were harvested in year 2014.
Hope this helps you.
