Question

Ramona owns a orange grove, and needs to harvest at least 2616 oranges to cover the costs of running the grove. If each tree bears an average of 62 oranges and Ramona wants to donate 360 oranges to charity, how many orange trees need to be in the grove? Express your answer in interval notation.

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following information :

Number of oranges Ramona needs to harvest in other to cover the cost of running the orange Grove = 2616

Average number of oranges each tree bears = 62

Oranges needed for charity donation = 360

Number of orange trees needed in the Grove :

Total number of oranges needed :

(Charity + running the Grove)

(360 + 2616) = 2976 oranges

Number of trees needed = total number of oranges needed / average number of oranges beared per tree

Number of trees needed = 2976 / 62

= 48 trees

Number of trees needed ≥ 48
