After a few months, Isabella's mother decides to harvest all the peas and corn and sell it at the local market. She decides on these prices: Peas are sold at $ 3 3 4 for each square foot harvested. And, corn is sold at $ 1 1 2 for each square foot harvested. Calculate how much money she made if she sold all her produce (all of her peas and corn).

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given


Pea = \$ 3(3)/(4)


Corn = \$ 1(1)/(2)

Required: Determine the total sales

The amount of peas and corns sold are not given. So, I will make some assumptions

If 1 square foot of pea is sold at
\$ 3(3)/(4), then p square feet will be sold at:
\$ 3(3)/(4)p

Similarly:

If 1 square foot of corn is sold at
\$ 1(1)/(2), then c square feet will be sold at:
\$ 1(1)/(2)c

So, the total is:


Total = 3(3)/(4)p + 1(1)/(2)c


Total = (15)/(4)p + (3)/(2)c

Assumptions


p = 8


c =6

The equation becomes:


Total = (15)/(4)*8 + (3)/(2)*6


Total = 15 * 2 + 3 * 3


Total = 30+ 9


Total = \$39
