After selling one third of his apple crop, a farmer sold the remainder at the same price per bushel for $600. What is the value
2 answers:
Answer:
$900.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent value of bushels of apples.
We have been that after selling one third of his apple crop, a farmer sold the remainder at the same price per bushel for $600.
Since farmer had sold 1/3 of apples, so amount of left apples would be 2/3.
We can represent this information in an equation as:
Let us solve for x.
Therefore, the value of the crop is $900.

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time
so, keeping in mind that both trains are going at the same speed, say speed of "r" mph, after 212 hours A arrived at station A and after 4 hours, B arrived at station B.
now, the distance covered by train A is say "d", we know both stations are 585 miles apart, so, if train A covered "d" miles in those 212 hours, then train B covered the slack from 585 and d, that is "585 - d".
