Full solution

Q. A 300300-acre farm produced 20,00020,000 bushels of corn last year. What is the minimum rate of production, in bushels per acre, that is needed this year so the farm's two-year production total will be at least 49,10049,100 bushels of corn?\newline
  1. Calculate Total Production: Determine the total production needed for two years.\newlineThe farm produced 20,00020,000 bushels last year and needs a total of at least 49,10049,100 bushels for two years.\newlineSo, the farm needs 49,10020,00049,100 - 20,000 bushels this year.\newlineCalculation: 49,10020,000=29,10049,100 - 20,000 = 29,100 bushels.
  2. Determine Needed Bushels: Calculate the minimum rate of production for this year.\newlineThe farm is 300300 acres, and it needs to produce at least 29,10029,100 bushels this year.\newlineTo find the rate, divide the total bushels needed by the number of acres.\newlineCalculation: 29,10029,100 bushels ÷\div 300300 acres = 9797 bushels per acre.
