Question

You planted 488 acres of corn last season. You sold all your corn: 8,120 bushels in August and 64,100 bushels in September. What is your yield per acre, rounded to the nearest bushel per acre?

Answer 1

The total number of bushels is 8,120 + 64,100 = 72,220 bushels of corn. To find the yield per acre, we can divide this by the number of acres of corn planted, which is 488. 72,220 bushels of corn / 488 acres of corn = 147.99, or approximately 148 bushels of corn per acre.
