The area covered by corn is x
The area covered by wheat is (x+480)
After 80% of wheat was collected, the new area was:
20/10(x+480)
=1/5(x+480)
After 25% of the corn was collected, the new area was:
75/100x
=3/4x
New area equation will be:
(3/4)x=1/5(x+480)+300
(3/4x)=(1/5)x+96+300
solving for x we get:
11/20x=396
x=720
thus the original area of corn was 720 acres
Original area of wheat was 720+480=1200 acres
Do you have a picture to go with that? I can’t solve it without any info.
I’m having trouble understanding this question.?
