Answer:

C. the change in the amount of wheat harvested.

Step-by-step explanation:

Already, the question states "...how much wheat...", which implies that you must find a amount of wheat.

Also, another implication is "...12,000 more..." (emphasis added), which usually amounts to you adding (hence more) to the original amount.

Answer:

C - the change in the amount harvested.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three options.

1) The area of the farm

2) The amount of wheat harvested in the later year

3) The change in the amount of wheat harvested.

Let's look at the possible answers.

1) The area of the farm  - it doesn't tell us anything important at all. The area of the farm isn't important in this case. We can cross it off.

2) The amount of wheat harvested in the later year - How much of wheat was harvested in the later year doesn't really tell us anything. If he harvested 60000 bushels the second year, he could have harvested million bushels the third year or 0 bushels the third year. We don't really know and this option won't tell us anything about that.

3) The change in the amount of wheat harvested. - If we know, that he harvested 50,000 bushels the first year and they give us information, that the amount changed by 12,000 between the first and third year, we can do easy math. 50,000+12,000=62,000. Here we are. This option provided us with enough information to solve the problem. That's why it is the most important information.
