A farmer has 180 bushels of wheat to sell at her roadside stand. She sells an average of 16 and three fourths bushels each day. Represent the total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 5 days.

Respuesta :

Total amount of wheat with the farmer = 180 bushels

Amount of wheat sold each day = [tex]16 \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{67}{4}[/tex] bushels

We have to determine the total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 5 days.

So, first we will find the amount of wheat sold in 5 days.

Amount of wheat sold in 5 days = [tex]5 \times \frac{67}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{335}{4}[/tex]

Now, Total change in the number of bushels she has to sale after 5 days

= [tex]180 - \frac{335}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{720-335}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{385}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]96 \frac{1}{4}[/tex] bushels.
