How many total bushels of corn did the farmer produce? First, calculate the total acres of corn that the farmer planted. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Total\ Yield = 88538.85\ bushels$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Yield = 226.5\ bushels/acre$

$Tract\ A = 230.4\ acres$

$Tract\ B = 160.5\ acres$

Required

Determine the total bushel of corn planted

First, we need to determine the total acre used in planting

$Total = Tract\ A + Tract\ B$

$Total = 230.4 + 160.5$

$Total = 390.9\ Acres$

$Total\ Yield = Yield * Acres$

$Total\ Yield = 226.5\ bushels/acre * 390.9\ acres$

$Total\ Yield = 226.5\ bushels* 390.9$

$Total\ Yield = 88538.85\ bushels$
