I worked it out but not sure

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Area of known planted trees: 450ft x 24ft = 10800 sq ft

total area of orchard: 43560 sq ft. x 15 acres = 653400 sq ft

653400 / 10800 = 60.5 "duplicated known areas"

25 trees in each "known area"

60.5 x 25 = 1512.5 trees

round to 1513 trees
