Problem 16

A gardener finds that the required fertilizer mass yy, in units of kg\(\text{kg}\), will vary directly with the garden area AA, in units of m2\(\text{m}{}\)^2, and will vary inversely with the fertilizer concentration cc, in units of kgm2\(\frac{\text{kg}\)}{\(\text{m}\)^2} (for the recommended strength), such that y=kAcy=\(\frac{kA}{c}\). If the gardener uses 50 kg\(\text{kg}\) of fertilizer for a 200 m2\(\text{m}\)^2 plot with a concentration of c=2c = 2, determine how many kilograms will be needed for a 300 m2\(\text{m}\)^2 plot at concentration of c=3c = 3.
