A mixed‑species plantation contains species A (QMD = 30 cm, 800 trees ha⁻¹) and species B (QMD = 20 cm, 1200 trees ha⁻¹). Basal area per hectare for a species is \(\text{BA}=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\,\text{QMD}^{2}\,N\), where \(N\) is the number of trees per hectare. The manager wishes to raise total basal area by 15 % while keeping the total number of trees at 2000 ha⁻¹ by altering the proportion of species A and B (QMD values remain unchanged). What percentage of the total trees should be species A to achieve the target basal area?
