Answer 1

42kg

Explanation:

We are given the amount of plums produced from Tree A. We simply need to find the amount produced by Tree B and add the two numbers up.

Step 1:

Tree B produces 10% more than Tree A, which produces 20kg of plums:

`B=(110)/(100) *(20)/(1) \\\\B=(110)/(5)=\\\\B=22`

Ok! Tree B produces 22kg of plums. Let us find the total amount of plums Yuri gets from both trees.

Step 2:

`Total=A+B\\\\Total=20+22\\\\Total=42`

Yuri gets 42 kg of plums from the trees.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
