Jose is a botanist studying production of coconuts by two different groups of his
coconut palms. He noticed that Group 1 of trees produced 25 percent more coconuts
than Group 2 did. Based on Jose's observation, if Group 1 produced 165 coconuts,
how many coconuts did Group 2 produce?

Respuesta :

Answer: 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that Group 1 of trees produced 25 percent more coconuts than Group 2 did and that Group 1 produced 165 coconuts, the number of coconuts that Group 2 produce will be:

= [100 / (100 + 25)] × 165

= 100/125 × 165

= 0.8 × 165

= 132

Group 2 produced 132 coconuts.
