To determine how many more roses the grower can expect to grow per year after using the pesticide, we will follow these steps:
1. Identify the initial conditions:
- The initial annual yield is \(\( 1100 \)\) roses.
- The pesticide reduces the pest population by \(\( 60\% \)\).
2. Assumption:
- We assume that the reduction in pest population leads to a proportional increase in the yield of roses. This means if the pests are reduced by \(\( 60\% \)\), the yield would increase by \(\( 60\% \)\) as well, due to decreased pest damage.
3. Calculate the expected yield increase:
- First, express the percentage increase as a decimal: \(\( 60\% = 0.60 \)\).
- Calculate the increase in yield by multiplying the initial yield by this decimal:
\(\[
\text{Yield Increase} = 1100 \times 0.60
\]\)
4. Perform the multiplication:
\(\[
\text{Yield Increase} = 1100 \times 0.60 = 660
\]\)
5. Conclusion:
- The expected increase in the annual yield of roses, after using the pesticide, is \(\( 660 \)\) roses.
Therefore, the grower can expect to grow \(\( 660 \)\) more roses per year after reducing the ant population by \(\( 60\% \)\) using the pesticide.
