In a region, the yield per acre of wheat increased from 30 quintals to 50 quintals after adopting a new seed variety. What is the percentage increase in yield?

Step-by-step solution

1. Compute the difference in yield: $50-30=20$ quintals.
2. Divide the difference by the initial yield: $\frac{20}{30}=0.6667$.
3. Convert to percentage: $0.6667\times 100=66.67$.
