Calculating Rate of Return on an Agricultural Investment (Julia's Grain)
An agricultural project provides another example of calculating the rate of return. If Julia invests by planting 30 units of grain and later harvests 45 units, her rate of return is 50%. This is determined by the formula $1 + \text{rate of return} = \frac{45}{30} = 1.5$, which corresponds to a 50% return on her initial investment.

Calculating Initial Agricultural Investment
Comparing Agricultural Investment Efficiency
A farmer plants 50 kilograms of a new hybrid seed. At the end of the season, the harvest from these seeds yields 75 kilograms of grain. The rate of return on this investment is 150%.
A group of farmers is experimenting with different agricultural techniques. Match each farmer's investment scenario with the correct rate of return they achieved.
Analyzing an Agricultural Trial Investment
A community garden project starts the season by planting 120 tomato seedlings. By the end of the harvest, they have collected a total yield equivalent in value to 168 seedlings. The rate of return on their initial planting is ___%.
Evaluating a Season's Farming Profitability
A farmer wants to calculate the rate of return on their seed investment. Arrange the following steps into the correct logical order to determine this rate.
