In a rice field, you can get a total of 20 sacks of rice every harvest. If the yield increases by twenty percent after every harvest, what is the total number of sacks of rice you can get after the first and second harvest?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
There were 20 x 0.20 = 4 sacks of rice increase after the first harvest. So the total sack of rice that you can get on the next harvest 20 + 4 = 24. Therefore the total number of sacks of rice you will get on the first and second harvest is 20 + 24 = 44.
Thus, the answer is 44.
