Question

Fresno County, California is the largest agricultural producing county in the country and almonds are an important crop with more than 99,000 acres harvested. Each acre produces about a ton of almonds and sold at a price of $4300 a ton. The Sagardia Brothers grew 600 acres of almonds . How many tons would the brothers sell if they priced the almonds at $4500 a ton?

Answer 1

Answer:

The brothers would not sell any ton.

Step-by-step explanation:

Facts we are given;

-Fresno coounty is the largest agriculture procuring county.

-It has harvested more than 99000 acres

-Fresno sold at $4300 a ton of almonds

For the Sagardia Brothers;

-Grew 600 acres of almond

- Sold at $4500 a ton of almonds

Now, from the given data, we can see that the price being sold by the brothers is higher than that of fresno county despite the fact that fresno is the biggest county producer in the country and as well has way more products in the market than the brothers.

Thus, the Brothers will likely not sell any product because the industry is price controlled and in addition to that, their prices are higher than the existing benchmark from county.

Also, the brothers don't even have the kind of name or quantity available from Fresno County.

Answer 2

The brothers sold 600 tons at a price of $2,700,000

Let x represent the number of tons of almonds produced by Sagardia Brothers and y represent the amount of money made.

Since 600 acres of almonds were farmed and each acre produces about a ton of almonds. Hence:

Total ton produced = 600 acres * 1 ton per acre = 600 tons

Each ton is priced at $4500 a ton, hence:

y = 600 tons * $4500 per ton

y = $2,700,000

The brothers sold 600 tons at a price of $2,700,000
