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 of the crop?
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:
\(\frac{2}{3}x=600\)
Let us solve for x.
\(\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{3}{2}*600\)
\(x=3*300\)
\(x=900\)
Therefore, the value of the crop is $900.
