Answer:
41 trees per acre
Step-by-step explanation:
For each tree per acre
Yield = 150 bushels of Apple
: Each tree tree will have :
150/40 = 3.75 bushels of Apple
Now;
For an additional tree(= 41 trees)
We would normally have for an acre to be
( 150/40) × 41 = 153.75 bushels of apples
But since in this case, there is a decrease of three bushel, we have
For the 41 trees per acre to be
153.75 - 3 = 150.75
Hence,
For each tree, we would have:
150.73 / 41 = 3.677 bushels of Apple
Conclusion:
40 trees yields 150 bushels of Apple per acre
41 yields 150.75 bushels of Apple per acre
