A farmer has 160 bushels of apples to sell at her roadside stand. She sells an average of 13 and seven tenths or 13 7/10 bushels each day. Represent the total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 7 days. The total change in the number of bushels she has for sale is:

Answer 1

We have been given that a farmer has 160 bushels of apples to sell at her roadside stand. She sells an average $13\frac{7}{10}$ bushels each day.

Let us find total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 7 days.

$13\frac{7}{10}=\frac{137}{10}$    

Now we will find number of bushels she will sale in 7 days as,

$7\cdot\frac{137}{10}$

$\frac{959}{10}=95.9$

The farmer will sell 95.9 bushels in 7 days. Now we will subtract this number from total number of bushels of apples to get our total change.

$160-95.9=64.1$

Therefore, the total change in the numbers of bushels she has for sale is 64.1 bushels.
