Answer:246.99(approxapproximately
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose,
the fruit production in 2019 is X kg
therefore ,
the fruit production in 2017 is (X - 17% of X) kg
According to the question,
(X - 17% of X) = 205
or, X - {(17/100) of X} = 205
or, X - {17X/100} = 205
or,(100X - 17X)/100 = 205
or, 100X - 17 X = 205*100
or, 83X = 20500
or, X = 20500/83
or, X = 246.99( Approximately )
therefore ,
the fruit production in 2017 is 246.99 kg( Approximately )
