Question

this year mr chat wala apple orchard gave a bumper crop of 75% more than last year if this years crops was 90 kgs what was the amount he had last year

Answer 1

Mr. Chatwala harvested 51.43 kg of apples last year.

Let's denote the number of apples harvested last year as 'x'.

This year, the harvest increased by 75% compared to last year. This means the total harvest this year was 175% of last year's harvest.

Therefore, we can set up the equation:

1.75x = 90

To find the value of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 1.75:

x = 90 ÷ 1.75

x = 51.43 kg

Therefore, Mr. Chatwala harvested 51.43 kg of apples last year.
