A greenhouse owner plans to grow rosebushes. If she expects to use her available land at 80% efficiency, how many rosebushes will she grow if her effective capacity is 2,000?

3000
2000
2400
1600

The correct answer is: 1600

To determine how many rosebushes the greenhouse owner will grow based on her effective capacity and the expected efficiency, you start by calculating the number of rosebushes that can be grown at the given efficiency level. The effective capacity is the maximum output that can be achieved under normal working conditions, which in this case is 2,000 rosebushes. Since the owner plans to utilize her available land at 80% efficiency, you multiply the effective capacity by the efficiency: 2,000 rosebushes (effective capacity) × 0.80 (efficiency) = 1,600 rosebushes. This calculation yields a total of 1,600 rosebushes, which is consistent with the choice indicating this figure. Therefore, this answer reflects the accurate application of the effective capacity adjusted for the planned efficiency level.
