Question

a farmer obtained a trifling of1720 bags of cotton last year. This year she expects her crop to be 20percent more. How many bags of cotton does she expect this year? ​

Answer 1

Bags last year = 1720

bags this year = 20% more = 120% of the bags of last year

Thus,

120% of 1720

120/100*1720

2064

Answer 2

Hey there!

Answer:

2064 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Yeilding obtained last year = 1720 bags

So, yeidling obtained this year = 1720 + 20% of 1720

                                                   = 1720 + (20 / 100) * 1720

                                                   = 1720 + 344

                                                    = 2064

Hence, No. of cotton bags expected this year are 2064.
