Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of budget = $18000

Expenses he spent to plant wheat = $8100

So, Total amount for acre is given by

$\ 18000-\ 8100\\\\=\ 9900$

Cost of each acre to plant = $47.00

So, the maximum number of acres of barley is given by

$\dfrac{9900}{47}\\\\=210.63\\\\=211\ acres$

Hence, there is 211 number of acres of barley the farmer can plant and still be under budget.

Answer 2

$18,000.00-$8,100.00=$9,900
9,900/47=210.6
210×47= 9,870
$30 under budget
210 max acres
