Felicien grows mirlitons (that's Cajun for Chayote squash) in his 100 by 100-foot garden. He then sells the crop at the local farmers' market. Two summers ago, he was able to produce and sell 1200 pounds of mirlitons
Last summer, he tried a new fertilizer that promised a 50% increase in yield. He harvested 1900 pounds. Did the fertilizer live up to its promise?
Since the productivity gain was 58.3%, not 50%, the fertilizer was at least as good as advertised.
Two Summers ago Last Summer Change
1200 ÷ 10,000 = .12 1bs/sq. ft 1900 ÷ 10,000 = .19 lbs/sq. ft (.19 - .12 ) ÷ .12 = 58.3%
