Answer 2

148 bushels per acre.

Explanation:

It has been given that you planted 488 acres of corn last season. You sold 8,120 bushel in August and 64,100 bushels in September. We are asked to find the yield per acre.

`\text{Yield per acre}=\frac{\text{Total production}}{\text{Total acres}}`

`\text{Yield per acre}=\frac{\text{(8,120+64,100) bushels}}{\text{488 acres}}`

`\text{Yield per acre}=\frac{\text{72,220 bushels}}{\text{488 acres}}`

`\text{Yield per acre}=\frac{\text{147.9918 bushels}}{\text{acre}}`

`\text{Yield per acre}\approx \frac{\text{148 bushels}}{\text{acre}}`

Therefore, the yield is 148 bushels per acre.
