  1. Answer:


    33275


    Step-by-step explanation:


    After 1 years:


    No. of trees = 25000 + 10% of 25000


    = 25000 + 2500


    = 27500


    After 2 years:


    No. of trees = 27500 + 10% of 27500


    = 27500 + 2750


    = 30250


    After 3 years:


    No. of trees = 30250 + 10% of 30250


    = 30250 + 3025


    = 33275


    Or directly, use:


    No. of trees = 25000 x (1 + r)ⁿ


    = 25000 x (1 + 10/100)³


    = 33275
