Question 1079780: A tree farm sells 15% of its trees each year. The owners of the farm also plant 120 new trees each year.
If the tree farm has 500 trees after the annual planting one year, how many trees will there be 1 year later after the annual planting?

After many more years have passed, the tree farm reaches an equilibrium where they plant exactly as many trees as they sell. How many trees will the tree farm have after the annual planting once this equilibrium has been reached?

They have 500
They sell 500*0.15 = 75
They plant 120 and 75+120 = 195 trees after the annual planting.
