A farmer has 1,170 acres of land on which he grows corn, wheat, and soybeans. It costs $45 per acre to grow corn, $60 to grow wheat, and $50 to grow soybeans. Because of market demand the farmer will grow twice as many acres of wheat as of corn. He has allocated $62,250 for the cost of growing his crops. How many acres of each crop should he plant?

a. corn acres
b. wheat acres
c. soybeans acres

Corn Land = 250 Acres ; Wheat Land = 500 Acres ; Soybean Land = 420 Acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of acres allocated to corn = c

So, no. of acres allocated to wheat = twice of corn = 2c

Total land for farming  = 1170 acres

So, soybean allocated acres = 1170 - c - 2c = 1170 - 3c

Total Cost =  Σ [Cost per acre of each crop x No. of Acres allocated to it ]

62250 = 45c + 60 (2c) + 50 (1170 - 3c)

62250 = 45c + 120c + 58500 - 150c

62250 - 58500 = 15c

3750 = 15c

c = 3750 / 15

c = 250 [Corn Allocated Land]

Wheat allocated land = 2c = 2 (250) = 500

Soybean allocated land = 1170 - 3c = 1170 - 3 (250) = 1170 - 750 = 420

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
