Solution:

Let the total field to plow be 100 %

According to the question,

The field plowed before lunch is shown below:

15 acres field = 30%

30 % field = 15 acres

1 % field = 15/30 acres

The field plow after lunch is 70%.


\begin{gathered} 70\text{ \% of field = }(15)/(30)*70 \\ =35\text{ acres} \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

Therefore, the field to plow after lunch in order to finish the field is 35 acres.
