Country X exports coffee and imports wheat. The domestic export supply of coffee is \( P = 0.5Q + 1 \) (where \( P \) is the export price in dollars per kg and \( Q \) is the quantity exported in thousand tonnes). The world price of coffee rises from $2 to $3 per kg. The country's import demand for wheat is \( P = 120 - 0.1Q \) (where \( P \) is the wheat price in dollars per tonne and \( Q \) is the quantity imported in thousand tonnes). Assuming the country maintains a balanced trade (value of exports = value of imports), calculate the quantity of wheat imported after the coffee price increase (in thousand tonnes, rounded to one decimal place).
