A farmer grows two types of grain in his fields. he has a seed budget of $20,000.00 and has spent $11,200.00 to plant wheat seed so far. if barley seed costs $52.00 per acre to plant, what is the maximum number of acres of barley the farmer can plant and still be under budget?
For the answer to the question above, I'll provide a solution below.
52x < = 20,000 - 11200
52x < = 8800
x < = 8800/52
x < = 169.23
So the answer to your question is 169 acres of barley the farmer can plant and still be under budget.
I hope my answer helped you. have a nice day!
