Question

This year mr.Chatwal's apple orchard gave a bumper crop of 25% more than last year. If this year crop was 90,000 Kg, what was the amount of apples he had last year?

Answer 1

amount of apple per last year =

90,000×25/100

= 900× 25

= 22,500

no.of apples he had last year = 22,500.

Answer 2

Let the amount of apples grown last year be x
Therefore,
No.of crops grown this year
x + 25% of x = 90,000
x+25/100x=90000
125x/100 = 90000
x = 90000*100/125
x= 72000
I hope you understand my solution.....
