How many total bushels of corn did the farmer produce? First, calculate the total acres of corn that the farmer planted. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

`Total\ Yield = 88538.85\ bushels`

Explanation:

Given

`Yield = 226.5\ bushels/acre`

`Tract\ A = 230.4\ acres`

`Tract\ B = 160.5\ acres`

Required

Determine the total bushel of corn planted

First, we need to determine the total acre used in planting

`Total = Tract\ A + Tract\ B`

`Total = 230.4 + 160.5`

`Total = 390.9\ Acres`

`Total\ Yield = Yield * Acres`

`Total\ Yield = 226.5\ bushels/acre * 390.9\ acres`

`Total\ Yield = 226.5\ bushels* 390.9`

`Total\ Yield = 88538.85\ bushels`
