Question

A farmer produce 200 pounds of corn each day. If he wants to increase his production by 10%, how many more pounds of corn will he need to produce each day to reach his goal?

Answer 1

To find the 10% we use the rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} 200\rightarrow100 \\ x\rightarrow10 \end{gathered}`

Then:

`x=(10\cdot200)/(100)=20`

Therefore he has to produce 20 more punds to reach his goal.
