The production of rice increased by 50% from 1995 to 1996 by what percentage should the production of rice be increased from 1996 to 1997 so that the production of prize in 1997 become six times that of 1995

300%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the production of rice in 1995 be x.

From 1995 to 1996, the production increased by 50%

This implies that the production of rice is now:

(100 + 50) / 100 * x = 150/100 * x = 1.5x

It means the production is now 1.5 that of 1995.

We want the production in 1997 to be 6 times that in 1995, that is 6x, this implies that we have to find the percentage increase from 1996 to 1997:

(100 + P) / 100 * 1.5x = 6x

By cross-multiplying:

100 + P = 6x * 100 / 1.5x

100 + P = 400

P = 400 - 100

P = 300%

Therefore, the production must be increased by 300%.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
