Question

A farmer has 220 bushels of wheat to sell at her roadside stand. She sells an average of 15 1/4 bushels each day. Represent the total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 7 days.

Answer 1

15.25 multiplied by 7 is 106.75 however you can’t sell .75 of a bushel so she sold 106 bushels, and 220-106 is 114.


She has 114 left after the 7 days and has sold 106.
