Question

A farmer has 240 bushels of beans for sale at a​ farmer's market. He sells an average of 14 7/8
bushels each day. After ​days, what is the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the​ farmer's market?

Answer 1

To find the total number of bushels sold after ​d days, we multiply the number of bushels sold per day by the number of days: (14 7/8) * d = (8*14+7)/8 * d = (112+7)/8 * d = 119/8 * d.
The change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the​ farmer's market is 240 - (119/8) * d.
