The average cost of planting each tree would be P dollars/ N new trees or P/N dollars for one new tree. Now if this price were to increase 25% from this year's cost, the orchard grower would have to pay 5/4*P/N dollars to plant each tree. With such a tremendous increase in price for planting one tree, the orchard grower can only plant (P)/(5P/4N)=P*4N/4P=4N/5 trees this year, a 20% decrease from the number of trees he could've planted last year. A should be the correct answer.

It would be 20% less
If the total cost remains the same
