Question

A small family farm has 230 acres of farmland to grow corn . If each acre yields 63 bushels of corn and each bushel can be sold at $9.00, how much does the farm make corn per year?

Answer 1

Answer:

$130,410

Explanation:

According to this question, a small family farm has 230 acres of farmland to grow corn. Each acre yields 63 bushels of corn i.e 1 acre = 63 bushels of corn

Also, each bushel can be sold at $9.00 i.e. 1 bushel = $9.00

If 1 bushel = $9.00

63 bushels = 63 × 9 = $567

Since 63 bushels of corn = 1 acre, it means that $567 is made on one acre.

Hence, on 230 acres, 230 × 567 = $130,410 will be made on corn per year
