A farmer grows two types of grain in his fields. He has a seed budget of $10,000.00 and has spent $4,200.00 to plant wheat seed so far. If barley seed costs $47.00 per acre to plant, what is the maximum number of acres of barley the farmer can plant and still be under budget?

Respuesta :

So take his original budget (10,000.00) and subtract the (4,200.00) he has already spent.
He now has 5,800.00 left.
Divide that by 47.00 and you get 123.4.
Well, 123 x 47.00= 5,781
But, 124 x 47.00= 5,828

He can plant 123 acres while staying under budget.

Answer:

The answer is 123. how do I know? cause i'm a god.

Step-by-step explanation:

10,000.00 dollars minus 4,200.00 dollars equals... and this will blow your mind... 5,800.00 dollars! So, you divide 5,800 by 47 and you get 123.4042553191489... or just to round down, you get 123. pretty amazing stuff, right? please mark brainliest!
