Question

A farmer budgets 5,000$ to buy and feed a cow for 300 days. If she buys the cow for 1,400$, how much money in dollars, can she spend on food each day for the cow and stay within budget?

Answer 1

The farmer can spend 12 dollars a day.

Explanation:

Budget subtracted by the price of the cow. $5,000 - $1,400 = $3,600

Leftover money divided by amount of days. $3,600/300 days = $12 a day
