Answer:
Her total harvest over the
first 5 years that she owns the farm is 11277 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Maggie is starting a small farm. In her first year, she harvests 90.000 kilograms of kale.
As she gets better at planting, fertilizing and pest control,
each year her harvest increases by 3%.
So,
In First year
She owns 90,000 kg
In Second year
She owns 90,000 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.
i.e.,
90000 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2700
So, The increase in 90,000 kg kale is 2,700
Now,
90,000 + 2,700 = 92,700 kg
In Third year
She owns 92,700 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.
i.e.,
92700 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2781
So, The increase in 92,700 kg kale is 2781
Now,
92,700 + 2,781 = 95,481 kg
In Fourth year
She owns 95,481 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.
i.e.,
95481 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2846
So, The increase in 95,481 kg kale is 2846
Now,
95,481 + 2,846 = 98,345 kg
In Fifth year
She owns 98,354 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.
i.e.,
98354 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2950
So, The increase in 98354 kg kale is 2950
Now,
98354 + 2950 = 101,295 kg
Now,
In First five years She owns
2700 + 2781 + 2846 + 2950 = 11277 kg
Thus, her total harvest over the first 5 years that she owns the farm is 11277 kg
