Answer:
252 bags of maize
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize
In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize
In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4
This means
3:4 = 2013: 2012.
Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x
3/4 = x/ 144
Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144
x = 3 × 144/ 4
× = 108
This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013
The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144
= 252 bags of maize.
Nathaniel's total cost is $(3.50 x2 + 3.25 x4 +1.90 x2 +1.20) = $24 he got 5% off so he paid $24- (24* 5/100) =$22.80
