Question

Answer 1

Answer:

27 trees needs to be in the orchard.

Step-by-step explanation:

amber needs to harvest at least 2293 of plums to cover the cost of running the orchard.

but also wants to donate 280 plums.

each tree produces an average of 83 plums

find: how many plums of trees needed to be in the orchard?

number of trees required = total harvest / number of plums produced per tree

therefore,

number of trees required = 2293 / 83 ≅ 27 trees needs to be in the orchard.

so Amber can donate 280 plums to charity.
