e27. A farmer received a $12,000 check for hiscrop of x bushels of soybeans. Whichexpression determines the average price(in dollars) per bushel of the crop ?(1) 12,000x(2) 12,000 + x(3) 12,000 -X12,000(4)Х-(5)5Х12,000

Answer 1

$\frac{12000}{x}\text{ (option 4)}$Explanation:

Amount needed for the bushels of soybeans = $12000

number of bushels of soybeans = x

Average price is the sum of all the cost divided by the number of units

$\begin{gathered} \text{Average price = }\frac{\text{Total cost of production}}{nu\text{mber of bushels}} \\ \\ \text{Average price = }\frac{12000}{x} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the average price (in dollars) per bushel of the crop is 12000/x
