Given:
Total forest area = 43,000
Old growth trees forest = 0.2%
To find:
The area of the old growth trees.
Solution:
We have,
Total forest area = 43,000
Old growth trees forest = 0.2%
Area of the old growth trees = 0.2% of 43,000
= [tex]\dfrac{0.2}{100}\times 43000[/tex]
= [tex]86[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the old growth trees is 86 acres.
