Answer 1

There will be approx 148 bushels in per acre.

Explanation:

You planted 488 acres of corn last season.

you sold all your corn: 8,120 bushels in August and 64,100 bushels in September.

Total bushels =
`8120+64100=72220`

Now, this amount of bushels were in 488 acres of land.

So, per acre will contain =
`72220/488=147.99`≈ 148 bushels

Hence, there will be approx 148 bushels in per acre.

Answer 2

The yield per acre will be given by:
[total amount of bushels sold]/[area of the field]
Total amount sold=64100+8120=72220
area=488 acres
thus
72220/488
=147.992~148 bushels per acre
