Answer 1

41790/210 = 199
199 + 5 = 204.

Answer 2

Roger's farm have initially 204 orange trees.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Roger had a farm with a certain number of orange trees. Each of the remaining trees produced 210 oranges, producing a total harvest of 41,790 oranges.

Now, to find the number of trees simply divided the total oranges with 210.

Number of trees =
`(41790)/(210)`

=
`199`

Thus, right now Roger had 199 orange trees.

He had to cut down 5 trees to control the insects.

To calculate the total number of trees roger's farm have initially, add 199 with 5.

199 + 5 = 204

Hence, Roger's farm have initially 204 orange trees.
