A farmer obtained a yielding of 1720 bags of cotton last year. This year she expects her crop to be 20% more. How many bags of cotton does she expect this year?

Number of bags of cotton yielded last year = 1720

Expected crop in this year in % = 20% of 1720


20 % of 1720


= 344


Expected cotton bags in this year = Number of bags of cotton yielded last year + Expected crop


= 1720+344


= 2064 bags


∴ Expected cotton bags in this year is 2064 bags
