Answer 1

300. if you sold a third. then 2/3 would be left. you can then infer each is 300

Answer 2

Answer:

$900.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent value of bushels of apples.

We have been that after selling one third of his apple crop, a farmer sold the remainder at the same price per bushel for $600.

Since farmer had sold 1/3 of apples, so amount of left apples would be 2/3.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\frac{2}{3}x=600$

Let us solve for x.

$\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{3}{2}*600$

$x=3*300$

$x=900$

Therefore, the value of the crop is $900.
