Question

At the beginning of the season, MacDonald had to remove 5 orange trees from his farm. Each of the remaining trees produced 210 oranges for a total harvest of 41790 oranges. Write an equation to determine the initial number of orange trees (t) on MacDonald's farm.

Answer 1

41,790 divided by 120 oranges = 199 trees remaining

Answer 2

The equation is 210(t-5)=41790. MacDonald's farm initially had 204 orange trees.
