Answer:
D 20 *1.10 * 1.05
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 19.8 tons of wheat. That is close to 20 tons
We increase by 9.8 percent. 9.8% is close to 10%
When we increase, that is 100% of what we had plus the increase, so we multiply by 100 +10% or 110%. In decimal form that is 1.1
20 *1.10
Then the next year we increase by 5.1%. That is close to 5%
We have 100% plus the 5% or 105%, which in decimal form is 1.05
We multiply what we had (20 *1.10) by 1.05
20 *1.10 * 1.05
This is the total amount we have
