Answer 2

Answer:

Quantity of wheat in 2015 is 19.8(1.098)(1.051) tons

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013

In 2013:

quantity of wheat =19.8 tons

In 2014:

The farms's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014

So, quantity of wheat becomes

$=19.8(1+0.098)$

$=19.8(1.098)$

In 2015:

The farms's wheat output increased  by 5.1 from 2014 to 2015

so, it is increased by 5.1 % of 2014 quantity

so, we get

quantity of wheat in 2015 is

$=19.8(1.098)(1+0.051)$

$=19.8(1.098)(1.051)$
