Answer:

The total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 5 days is 83.125 bushels

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial number pf bushels the farmer has = 120 bushels

The amount of bushels of wheat the farmer sells each day = 16⁵/₈ = 16.625

The number of bushels sold after 5 days = 16.625 × 5 = 83.125 bushels

The total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 5 days = The number of bushels sold after 5 days

The total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 5 days = 83.125 bushels.
