Answer 2

339 bushels

Explanation:

Mr Farmer plans on a 325% harvest.

Let the number of bushels of corn he sow to reap be x

Therefore, 325% of x = 1,100

`(325)/(100)x` = 1,100

3.25x = 1,100

x =
`(1,100)/(3.25)`

x = 338.461 rounded to 339 bushels

Mr. Farmer must sow 339 bushels of corn to reap 1,100 bushels.
