Subtraction is the operation that you should is to solve this problem
A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480
The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55
Simple, the area is 80*50, 80*50=4,000 ft², the backyard has a dimension of 50*40=2,000 ft², subtract 4,000 from 2,000, 4,000-2,000=2,000 ft²
