Next >

A CAFO discharges $$50$$ kg of nitrogen per day into a river. After implementing improved manure management, the nitrogen discharge is reduced by $$60\%$$. How many kilograms of nitrogen are discharged per day post-improvement?

Parameter Value
Initial Nitrogen Discharge (kg/day) 50
Reduction Due to Improved Management 60% reduction
Note: Consider the effect on nitrogen discharge.
A

$$50 \times 0.60 = 30$$ kg/day

B

$$50 - 60 = -10$$ kg/day

C

$$50 \times (1-0.60) = 20$$ kg/day

D

$$50 \times (1-0.40) = 30$$ kg/day
