Answer:
1210 acres
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
let the old farmland be x acres
new farmland = 968 acres
therefore
let us find 20% of the old farmland
=20/100x
=0.2x
Hence
968+0.2x=x
collect like terms
968=x-0.2x
968=0.8x
x= 968/0.8
x=1210 acres
12% less since faster
100%-12%=88%
88% of 4 min and 23 sec=
0.88 times 263 seconds=
=231.44=3 minutes and 50 seconds rounded
3 mins, 50 seconds
I think it would be the second graph
