If 459 is 15% less than the original, this means the original was 15% more than 459.

So we have to find 15% more of 459, and to do this, we have to:

Add 100 + 15 = 115 
115/100 = 1.15 
1.15 x 459 = 527.85

Hope this answers your question

just find how many soybeans his land will yield (per acre) after 10 and 20 years:

After 10: 200 pounds of soybeans/acre

After 20: 100 pounds of soybeans/acre

Because 10 years have passed and they lost 100 pounds of soybean production per acre, the farmer should expect to lose 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year (-10 pounds of soybeans per acre/year)
