Answer 4

By maximize, do you mean "getting the average yield back up above 55 peaches per tree"? Question 2: for the 1st of the ten additional trees it appears that the average yield is 49. Is the problem stating that for the SECOND of the ten it is 43 and the for the third it is 37 and so on? Or are all ten of the additional trees at 49 ?
