How much does it cost per acre to plant corn


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 353 People


Seed costs for a farmer are $40 per acre for corn and $32 per acre for soybeans. How many acres of each crop should the farmer plant if he wants to spend no more than $5,000 on seed

Answered by admin @



We want to find an inequality that says how many seeds of each type the farmer can buy.

The inequality is:

$40*x + $32*y ≤ $5,000

The information given is:

  • Seeds of corn cost $40 per acre.
  • Seeds of soybeans cost $32 per acre.

Then if he buys seeds for x acres of corn and y acres of soybeans, the total cost is:

cost = $40*x + $32*y

And he wants to spend no more than $5,000, then we have the inequality:

$40*x + $32*y ≤ $5,000

Notice that there are a lot of possible solutions to this inequality, so the inequality actually describes all the different possibilities that the farmer has to not spend more than $5,000 on seeds.
