Answer:


v - 0.06v and
0.94v

Explanation:

Given


Acreage = v


Decrement = 6\%

Required

Determine the new acreage

Because a reduction occur, the new acreage can be calculated using:


New = Acreage - Decrement * Avreage


New = v - 6\% * v


New = v - 0.06 * v


New = v - 0.06v ------ (1)

Evaluate the expression


New = 0.94v ---- (2)
