Answer:
the number of apple trees = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
a) the total mass of apples produced = 25x
b) the number of containers of fertilizer required :
[tex]=\frac{0.8x}{5} \\= 0.16x[/tex]
c)
(i) the equation :
648 = 90 × (0.16x)
⇔ 648 = 14.4x
(ii) solving :
648 = 14.4x
⇔ x = 648 ÷ 14.4
= 45
