A family tree business removes overgrown trees for 3 months in the summer. In June, they removed 1/3 the number of trees as they did in July. In August, they removed twice the number of trees as they did in July. They removed less than 1000 trees in the three months. What is the maximum number of trees they removed in July?​

Sagot :

Answer: 299

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Family removes one-third of tress in June as much as they dd in July

They remove twice the number of July in august

Suppose they removed x trees in July

for June it is, [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex]

for August, it is [tex]2x[/tex]

If they removed less than 1000 tress in 3 months

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{3}+x+2x<1000\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x+3x+6x}{3}<1000\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10x}{3}<1000\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{3}<100\\\\\Rightarrow x<300[/tex]

So, maximum number of tress removed in July is 299
