Question

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013. The farm's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1 % from 2014 to 2015. Which expression represents a strategy for estimating the total output of wheat, in tons, in 2015?

Answer 1

19.8 X 0.098 = 1.9404
increased 1.9404 from 2013 to 2014

19.8 + 1.9404= 21.7404

increasses another 5.1% for 2014 to 2015

21.7404 X 0.051 = 1.1087757

1.1087757 + 21.7404 = 22.8491757

Total output of wheat for 2015 is 1.11

Total output of wheat 22.85 rounded off
