A farmer grows two types of grain in his fields. He has a seed budget of $20,000 and has spent $11,200.00 to plant wheat seed so far. If barely seed costs $52.00 per acre to plant, what is the maximum number of acres of barely the farmer can plant and still be under budget?

Respuesta :

First find how much money he has left
20,000.00-11,200.00=8800.00
Then divide by 52.00 to find out how much seeds he can plant
8800.00 divided by 52=168.23
As the farmer must be under budget, we round down to 168.
so the farmer can plant 168 acres without going over budget
