Answer:
Marium will have 705 tomatoes remaining
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine the rate of production per plant
Roma tomatoes produces=150 tomatoes per plant
Step 2: Determine total number of tomatoes to be produced
The expected number of tomatoes to be produced before accounting for the losses can be expressed as;
Total tomatoes=number of tomatoes per plant×number of plants
where;
Number of tomatoes per plant=150
number of plants=5
replacing;
Total tomatoes=(150×5)=750 plants
Total tomatoes=750 plants
Step 3: Expected loses
The total number of tomatoes she expects to lose can be expressed as;
Total number of tomatoes lost=expected loss×total tomatoes
where;
expected loss=6%
total tomatoes=750
replacing;
Total number of tomatoes lost=(6/100)×750=45 tomatoes
Total number of tomatoes lost=45
Step 4: Remaining tomatoes after loss
The remaining number of tomatoes when we account for the quantity lost can be expressed as;
Remaining number of tomatoes=Total number of tomatoes-total number of tomatoes lost
where;
total number of tomatoes=750
total number of tomatoes lost=45
replacing;
Remaining number of tomatoes=(750-45)=705 tomatoes
Marium will have 705 tomatoes remaining
