John has decided to prepare an old field for his son's new horse. the length of the field is 10 meters less than 4 times its wid

th. He will spend $1,584 on fencing for the field at a cost of $4.80 per meter. He also needs to buy sweetgrass seed to plant in the field. The seed costs $3.98 per bag and each bag covers 460 square meters. If John has $1,600, is this enough money to purchase the fence and all the seeds needed to plant in this field?

Answer: The total money invested in the field will be $1,623.80

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the dimensions of the field

Let

x -----> the length of the field

y -----> the width of the field

p=2(x+y)

p(4.80)=1,584

p=330m

we know that

The perimeter of the field is equal to

so

330=2(x+y)----> equation A

x=4y-10 ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

330=2(4y-10+y)

165=(5y-10)

5y=165+10

y+35

Find the value of x

x=4(35)-10+130

therefore

The length of the field is 130 meters and the width of the field is 35 meters

step 2

Find the area of the field

The area of the field is

A=xy

substitute

A=(130)(35)=4,550m2

step 3

Find the number of bags of seed

Divide the area by 460

4,550/460=9.89 bags

Round up to the nearest whole number

9.89 bags=10 bags

step 4

Find the cost of the seed

(10 )(3.98)=$19.8

step 5

Find the total money invested in the field

1,584+$39.8=$1,623.80
