Answer 2

✽ 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.
