Question

Let's assume a typical New Zealand farmer raising sheep owns 250 hectares and averages about 10 livestock units per hectare. If each ewe earns the farmer $20/year, how much money does that farmer earn in one year?​

Answer 1

$50,000

Explanation:

We have an average of 10 livestock units per hectare

The number of units in 250 hectares will be;

250 * 10 = 2,500 units

Amount earned per unit is $20 per year

So, for 2,500 units, we have

2500 * $20 = $50,000
