Answer:

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.
